I'm creating application for selection counties and exporting FIPS. I used example with this layer (from samples):
new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Specialty/ESRI_StateCityHighway_USA/MapSe...");

But this is not production server so there is no guarantee for availability. Is there a way to use this layer on own server? And if, what do I need to do.

Thank you!

i did a quick check and it looks like we have some demographic map services published on our production servers, but it doesn't look like the counties layers include FIPS.

if you have ArcGIS Desktop installed, the software comes with a generalized US Counties feature class (with FIPS) in the following location

..\ArcGIS\Desktop10.x\TemplateData\TemplateData.gdb\USA\counties

You could publish a new service with this data and use your own map service REST url instead.
