As you have noticed, ITA does not book flights. I tend to use ITA for UA flights. At that point, you can use the airline websites to try and price it out, or any other site which you think is good. If it is a complicated itinerary, it may help to use the multy-city feature on the websites to price it out.

If you don't want to share your insanity with your travel agent, and if it is a complicated itinerary, you might try to book it on Orbitz. I seem to remember hearing that the Orbitz engine is based on the ITA software, so Orbitz should be able to book itineraries found on ITA.
