It works!  Thank you so much!

Hello, all,

After a couple of false starts, we finally have this working for us as
well, but I'm not too thrilled with the solution. The first times we
tried the solution mentioned by Gerald and David, it didn't work because
we had a mis-sorted entry for newisiknowledge in the WAM table that I
had missed. After deleting it and adding only the *.isiknowledge.com
entry, it works.

I'm not happy with this solution because I worry about
1) if we add more ISI databases (we currently only have the Science and
Social Science Citation Indexes), that we will have to add back the
other entries. 
2) if ISI implements more IP checking for the components pulled from
other domains or servers, then this might break as the other domains and
servers are obviously not being proxied (uml*.isiknowledge.com,
st*.newisiknowledge.com, etc).

Still I'm happy it's working for now and won't get too worked up until
it breaks next. 

What would really make me happy, though, is to have the full capability
of the current version of EZProxy without having to maintain a separate
box for it! :-)

Much thanks to those that helped troubleshoot this vexing problem!
David
