// The ProxyMethod should be an integer value between 1 and 5.

// you may set it directly.  To determine the ProxyMethod,
// call DetermineProxyMethod.  A return value of -1 indicates a failure.
// A return value of 0 indicates that nothing worked.
// A return value of 1-5 indicates the ProxyMethod that was 
// successful, and this should be the value used for the ProxyMethod
// property.
