WCF - service access address aliased

Question

I am inexperienced in WCF so this question may be real basic...
I have a WCF service hosted in IIS of a server named "Server1". This server is aliased and visible from the open Internet as ServerAlias.mydomain.com.
While developing the consumer application, I add a service reference to the service in Server1 and deploy it. When executing it remotely, the app looks for the service on "Server1.mydomain.com" but it can only be accessed through "ServerAlias.mydomain.com".

Is there a way that I can reference the service in Server1 in design-time, and in run-time the application looks in "ServerAlias"?

Thanks!

When you make the reference, it should create entries in your .config file which indicate the remote endpoint. All you have to do is change the remote endpoint to point to the other server and it should work.
