I would definitely think that this is possible.

There are multiple ways to configure WCF.  One way is to do so using a config file which appears to be what you have done.  When you do that I think that it has to be application config file, i.e. ArcMap.  It might be better to investigate doing this programmatically.

I got it all worked out.  I changed the REST endpoint binding from custombinding to basichttpbinding and coded all of the parameters as opposed to using a config file (as you suggest) and it worked.  Thanks for the input.
