In IIS6 or 7, you can use IIRF, a free rewriting filter. Here's the rule I used:

# Iirf.ini
#

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteLog  c:\inetpub\iirfLogs\iirf-v2.0.services
RewriteLogLevel 3
StatusInquiry  ON  RemoteOk
CondSubstringBackrefFlag *
MaxMatchCount 10

# remove the .svc tag from external URLs
RewriteRule  ^/services/([^/]+)(?
