Chris,

Thank you for the links.
How would an IFrame Proxy effect SEO?
As far as I know, bots hate Iframe.
Does that apply here?

XMLhttpRequest does not work across domains for security reasons,
therefore you need a server side proxy component like your ASP script
to pull the data. There is nothing stopping you to read the output of
the component with Ajax and display it though.

Your own server side proxy also enables you to filter our bad URLs,
cache content and give logical error messages.

If you can use JSON, there is no problem with cross-domains though as
it is JavaScript and you can create a SCRIPT tag on the fly.

Snook has done a good job collecting ideas:

There is also a hack available that uses hidden IFRAMES:
