Innovative proxy and Windows 2000 dns

[Johnson-Grau, Glenn]

We use the Innovative Interfaces proxy (known as Web Access Management or 
WAM in InnoSpeak) to provide off-campus access to our databases. We are 
attempting to switch to their rewriting proxy, which I understand to be 
very similar to the version available in the widely used EZproxy, but are 
encountering some problems. Our network administrators have been 
unsuccessful in editing our campus Windows 2000 DNS to add a wildcard entry 
that would allow us to reformat our subscription database URLs into the 
proper format for the rewriting proxy.

Innovative is being particularly unhelpful and the Innovative  IUG has not 
helped much either. If there is someone who has successfully configured a 
Windows 2000 DNS to accept wildcards to support either the Innovative or 
EZproxy systems and would be willing to contact me off the list, I'd 
appreciated it very much.

Thanks.
