I doubt that very much. It's very common for corporate sites to
channel all their traffic through gateways. I would assume that google
was smart enough to recognize that your usage pattern was not that of
many users coming from a single IP address, but rather that of a
harvesting robot. The two activities have very different log signatures.

I suspect that proxying Google will trigger an automatic throttle.
Early on, a number of us hit GB hard, trying to figure out what they

Recent attention to privacy concerns about Google Book Search have

investigate whether any libraries are using tools such as proxy

enhance patron privacy when using Google Book Search. Similarly,
advertising
networks (web bugs, for example) could be proxied for the same
reason. I
would be very interested to hear from any libraries that have done
either of
these things and of their experiences doing so.
