Thanks for the info.

Quoting "Shoebottom, Bryan" <BShoebottom@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Please be aware of the security implications of using the ip_wccp
module. Because you can only use one or the other (gre or wccp module)
you will not be able to use GRE and will accept wccp packets from any
host.
I also had intermittent problems with this setup, large POSTs (attaching
a file to hotmail, etc.) wouldn't go through. Changing to a 2.6.9+
kernel and using the wccpv2 patch solved my problems and I've been
running with this configuration for approx 2 months now with no
problems.
Thanks,
Bryan

If you do not need WCCP v2 features, try WCCP v1 that your can use
ip_wccp
module. I've used v1 since 5 years ago with a very satisfied result.
Thx & Rgds,

I had a lot of problems trying to use a 2.4 kernel, try a 2.6.9 or
higher.
Thanks,

Sorry, I should have stated that. We are using kernel 2.4.21-37.EL.
The ip_gre module is loaded.

We are using squid (Version 2.5.STABLE14+module1.0) with WCCP v2
compiled in to transparently redirect http. The problem seems to be
that the GRE headers are not being removed. The access log does not
show incoming requests. The tcpdump trace shows that the GRE packets
are being sent to the cache server, but no packets are flowing from
the server.
Any ideas as to what we are doing wrong?
