Proxy Server vs. URL Rewriter for Authentication

[Sherry Crowther]

Hi - We are planning to offer remote access to our web databases and 
I'm trying to decide between setting up a proxy server or using the 
EZproxy URL Rewriter product.  I've already received some glowing 
recommendations of EZproxy from members of this list, thanks.

Before we proceed, I'd like to ask, what are the advantages of using a 
proxy server over EZproxy?

I'd appreciate any help you can provide, thank you!
