configuration

I'm using AutoMapper in a number of projects within my solution. These projects may be deployed independantly, across multiple servers.

In the documentation for AutoMapper it says:

If you're using the static Mapper method, configuration only needs to happen once per AppDomain. That means the best place to put the configuration code is in application startup, such as the Global.asax file for ASP.NET applications.

Whilst some of the projects will be ASP.net - most of these are class libraries / windows services.

Where should I be configuring my mappings in this case?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
