You could publish a geoprocessing toolbox using the "Generate Near Table" tool.  This worked for us but required an upgrade to ArcGIS Server Advanced Edition.

You can create (with 10 version) a rest soe
http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/devsummit10/papers/tech/extending_ags_services_using_.net.pdf

and on server work with spatial index (every square have list of ids contained) then you try nearest from ids in square.
