Well that makes sense, but I wasn't aware that you could route only a single URL through the proxy. The configuration options in Windows -- both IE and Mozilla -- don't seem to offer that, unless it is done with exclusions. How does one do it for a single URL only? We ran into this because an attempt to access a different library system, totally unrelated to the university, ran afoul of the proxy settings for the university library. -- Tom
