GeoServer probably can't understand your custom web service (unless it looks
a lot like WFS). If you want to teach it, you could implement a custom
GeoTools DataStore implementation for your service. See
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/tutorials/advanced/datastore.html
However, if all you are doing is rendering search results in a web browser,
OpenLayers may be sufficient for your needs. OL can pull GML from an
arbitrary URL and render it in the browser, so it would probably be simpler
and quicker to get it working with your service. See
http://openlayers.org/and particularly
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/vector-formats.html

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
