I have the same problem. If you want to solve it for yourself quickly, you can change some hardcoded URL in BibDesk source and recompile BibDesk. I looked a bit into this already, search for a message with title: "Web of Science search with a special address" on BibDesk user list. The only problem will be for BibDesk to be logged in with your proxy, if you need login+password. If you want a more full featured solution, then this would need a preference somewhere, to store the custom address, and a panel to provide login and password. Adam told me that he would be happy to accept a patch that provides this functionality. I did not looked further into this since the stupid proxy I am using does not support Safari (i.e. Apple's WebKit) and this is what BibDesk would be using to log in. I hope you'll be more lucky than I was.
