Bypassing WAM

[Bernadette Maria Houghton <bhoughto@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Our library is currently in the process of setting up WAM, and I'm looking 
into whether it is possible to bypass the proxy for oncampus users, to 
reduce the load on the server (and also our  bandwidth costs!).

I've been digging deep into the archives and Innovative documentation and 
have been left with the impression that it can't be done via WAM itself. 
There appear to be two alternative solutions -

* set up separate links for on- and off-campus users in each bib record/web 
page
* create dynamic web pages to read the user's IP and present the 
appropriate on- or off-campus link.

Am I reading things correctly, or is there another way to do this?

Regards

Bernadette
