I think that as long as your WAM forward table accounts for all of the 
hosts listed at <http://www.umdl.umich.edu/docs/dlps/docs/access.html>, 
there shouldn't be much to handle.  A URL for any host in the forward table 
*should be* proxied when accessed via any other proxied URL, whether the 
access is via redirection or a link on a page.
