Re: EZproxy self-hosted and OCLC-hosted

Thank you ALL!
What I want to know are:
1. Is the OCLC-hosted EZproxy stable? A couple of years ago, I saw people
talked about the OCLC-hosted EZproxy was down and it was a nightmare for
those libraries.
2. How long did OCLC update their stanzas? I feel comfortable to update
stanzas. And some stanzas at OCLC site didn't work.
3. Troubleshooting probably may become more complicated? Now Pepperdine
EZproxy talks to our Pepperdine CAS (Central Authentication Service).
OCLC-hosted EZproxy will talk to our Pepperdine CAS.
