You're getting double-proxying because you have an entry in your WAM forward table that includes your proxy server:

*.*up.ac.za

WAM doesn't like that.  If you need to proxy hosts at your institution, you should account for each specific host, and not use a wildcard entry that includes the Innovative server.
