[Eril-l] Using Callisto to test access to electronic resources

[Stacy Pober]

If you are using EZproxy for your off-campus access, you can exclude one or
more campus computers from proxying, so that the EZproxy server "sees"
those as needing to be proxied.

That's what we do - we set up one computer with a fixed IP address (we use
dynamic, otherwise) and then put the appropriate line into the ezproxy.cfg
file.

Since this computer is used almost exclusively for testing EZproxy, we use
one of the older PCs that IT retires periodically from use in the computer
labs.
