Can FeatureLayer graphics come from the service, instead of defined in the client?

I have some nice services provided to me that have multiple layers in them, with nice colors and icons.

I have to present those layers on a map, and provide maptips and clustering for them.  This means I need to use FeatureLayers (as far as I understand).

Wonderful, except that it looks like I have to define the graphics for the FeatureLayers in xaml or code, instead of just using what comes from the service.  Why can't I use the colors and symbols defined by our mappers?  Why do I have to redefine them for my FeatureLayers?  Am I missing something?

Hopefully I'm stating this clearly.  I'm probably not hip to the lingo.  🙂

If you are using ArcGIS Server 10, the symbology will automatically come from the server.
