    There is no spoon… and there are no fully-qualified Endpoints with RIA services by default…

    When you link the .web RIA class library projects to your main web project, the services are accessed behind the scenes by URLs like: 

    http://localhost:2911/ClientBin/RiaServices-Documents-Web-DocumentDomainService.svc/binary/GetDocuments?$take=20&$includeTotalCount=True

    The client RIA class library projects just assume a relative URL (relative to the hosting project), so they will work in any Silverlight application.

    To use a RIA service from another location, other than the hosting website, you need to specify the service Endpoint manually in the DomainContext constructor:

    DocumentDomainContext d = new DocumentDomainContext("http:someotherserver:1234//ClientBin/RiaServices-Documents-Web-DocumentDomainService.svc");

    (I do not know how to do this for a Domain Data Source).
