Is it possible to use OpenLayers WMS services in ArcGIS Server Javascript or Flex API?

Is it possible to add OpenLayers WMS service in MXD and then then publish it in ArcGIS Server?

Is there any way to merge ArcGIS Server services and OpenLayers on clients or server side?

What do you mean by OpenLayers WMS services??
OpenLayers is a JavaScript library to build web maps that can dispaly for example WMS Services.
It is possible to use WMS Services in ArcGIS for Flex API (and I assume it's possible in the javascript API as well).
It might be possible to add a WMS service to a mxd document and publish it in ArcGIS Server (I'm not really sure), but it would be much better to connect directly to the WMS instead of going through ArcGIS Server.
I don't think you can use an ArcGIS Server service in OpenLayers (but actually I have no idea because I don't work with OpenLayers) but you can enable the WMS capability on your ArcGIS Server service and use that WMS service in OpenLayers.
