Scott,
One typical idea is to write a wrapper function which stores the values of
its arguments. Using one of the examples in the help for
RationalInterpolation,
RationalInterpolation[Exp[x],{x,2,4},{x,0,2}]
we can modify as follows:
pts={};
g[x_?NumericQ]:=(pts={pts,x};Exp[x])
RationalInterpolation[g[x],{x,2,4},{x,0,2}]
Flatten[pts]
The variable pts stores the set of values chosen as a nested list for
efficiency reasons. The values you want are obtained by flattening pts.
