reCAPTCHA keys are tied to a domain name by default, but they also offer
global keys. From an admin page:

If you wish to use your key across a large number of domains (e.g., if
you are a hosting provider, OEM, etc.), select the global key option.
You may want to use a descriptive domain name such as
"global-key.mycompany.com"

Subject: [CODE4LIB] EzProxy and recaptcha

Casting a net far and wide on this, sorry.

We're using EZproxy to proxy a website that also happens to have
reCaptcha on it.  

I guess reCaptcha keys are tied to domain names, so when the Javascript
is brought into the page via the <script /> tag, it sees that the page
is 'proxy.example.edu' instead of 'www.vendorsite.com', and we end-up
with an error from reCaptcha saying:

   This reCAPTCHA key isn't authorized for the given domain.

That all makes sense.  But can anyone fathom a workaround?
