Calling WCF Service Contract/Method without Service Name in the url - wcf

Question

My WCF service is at this location
http:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6040/service.svc/
in IIS7.5 with two contracts SubmitReturn and GetForward.
But client calls the service at
http:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6040/SubmitReturn/232323
on the root i.e. without service name in the url but the service should be called like this
http:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6040/service.svc/SubmitReturn/123456789
So how can I make the WCF service available at
http:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6040/
rather than at
http:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6040/service.svc/
at the root of IIS?

Answer 2

I was following this link for URL rewriting (Good link)
www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/using-failed-request-tracing-to-trace-rewrite-rules
And url rewriting works fine for "article.aspx"(go to the link provided above to see) on my server.
But for my service it is giving error "Endpoint Not Found".
This is my latest web.config file:
