Can I use GeoServer instead of ArcGIS Server and send the services to ArcGIS API?

I have started to develop some WebGIS services for my thesis using ArcGIS API for silverlight 2.1.

It seems that the ArcGIS API can just present REST services published by ArcGIS Server while I need to publish my data which come from open source web map server (such as GeoServer+Postgre/PostGIS). Actually, I want to switch from ArcGIS server to GeoServer and use ArcGIS API to visualize the map. 

Would you please let me know that I can use GeoServer instead of ArcGIS Server and send the services to ArcGIS API? and if  it is possible, would you please let me know about some references for implementing that?

Thanking you in advance and looking forward to hearing from you.

Our API integrates with ArcGIS Server. We do not have out-of-the-box support for GeoServer so I am not sure how much work is involved for you to be able to switch to GeoServer.
