Thanks for the responses.

Those of you who say the app will use the setting in the web.config are correct for instances where I reference it in my own code:

_connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];

..but there is a different issue with LINQ-SQL datacontexts - I think they include connections strings in the compiled dll for use in the parameterless constructor. As tvanofosson says, I need to create datacontexts by passing in a reference to the connection string in the web.config. Which is where I was getting into a tangle :)
