I'm attempting to set up WAM. I've read the WAM Product Tutorial on
csdirect and I feel that I may have some step missing.
. . .
Looking at Ebscohost I have done the following, works in library,
doesn't work at home:
1. Our DNS has been updated with the wildcard. I can now access
catalog.glensidepld.org with anything I put in front - bill, beer,
pizza, etc.
Unfortunately, if things are set up correctly you shouldn't be able
to do this. You should be able to do a lookup on anything that takes
the form 0-somehost.catalog.glensidepld.org and get the IP address of
catalog.glensidepld.org returned, but
http://0-somehost.catalog.glensidepld.org/ should produce an error
unless you've accounted for "somehost" in your WAM table.
If I enter
http://0-bill.beer.pizza.catalog.glensidepld.org/ in my
browser I get to the same place as I would if I entered plain old
http://catalog.glensidepld.org/ but I should get "The address you
are trying to access is invalid", unless, of course, you have
bill.beer.pizza or *.beer.pizza or *.*.pizza in your WAM table.
I think there's some funkiness in your WAM table entries as well, but
I'd get the DNS situation straightened out first.
