WAM question: forward entry setting for the INNOPAC

["Abbott, Bruce" <babbot@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Now here's an interesting situation we find ourselves in--we need to proxy
our own INNOPAC, and it doesn't seem to work.

We have set up web links back to our catalog from some of the services to
which we subscribe--ISI, EBSCOhost, OVID, etc.  This is just a URL back to
our own catalog to search for the ISSN that is retrieved in the search on
the database service on our INNOPAC.

The problem is this, and I'll use EBSCOhost as the example--a patron uses
the proxy rewrite address of EBSCOhost, does a search, finds an article, and
then wants to check if our library owns it.  They click on the link that
says "Check library catalog for holdings" and get an error message that the
"the address you are trying to access is invalid."

In looking at the properties of the error form I find this URL:
http://0-innopac.lsuhsc.edu.innopac.lsuhsc.edu/search~S1/i

Has anyone figured out a work around to address this?  I have tried to proxy
the INNOPAC but it didn't work.
