Thanks all--the problem is solved (through non-MARCedit means).

If you're interested: Our technology group told me it is okay to put an 
EZproxy statement in the first 856 even though that URL is automatically 
proxied by our system (apparently EZproxy handles double proxying 
gracefully).

Thanks for the suggestions,

Henry
