No luck.  I have the proxy definition in my httpd.conf file.  I have the URL parameter
in my elogd.cfg file.

Here is the command line I am using to start the daemon:

elogd -v -D -n <myhost> -p 8080 -l <myhost>/cgi-bin/elog/logbooks -c
/usr/local/server/apache/cgi-bin/elog/elogd.cfg

With the -v argument, here are the messages I get in /var/log/messages:

I am still getting the exact same error in my Apache log.

Any more ideas?
