Try something like:
Code:
awk -v newurl="https://foo.bar" '$1=="remote"{$2=newurl} NR>1{print RS $0}' RS=\< FS=\> ORS= OFS=\> file

This worked fine , it replaced all the tags with new url.

I think i have not put my question properly. my requirement is in xml file i have tag called <remote> multiple times , i wanted to replace these tags with multiple urls
for example
in first instance of <remote> url1 </remote> with url1
in second instance of <remote> url2 </remote> with url2.

thanks in advance

Yes, your first spec was not clear.
Try this for your new spec, based on Scrutinizer's approach:
Code:
awk -v urllist="https://foo1.bar1 https://foo2.bar2" '

BEGIN           {split (urllist, newurl, " ")}
$1=="remote"    {$2=newurl[++c]}
NR>1            {print RS $0}

' RS=\< FS=\> ORS= OFS=\> file

Please be aware that no error checking (e.g. url count matches urls in file) is done.
