Hm, I've seen the WCCPv2 multicast support but I don't think there's code in Squid-2.6 to use it. > 2) is it possible to register with more than 1 cisco router Yes; but i haven't yet got an example of how its done up on the Wiki. I'll keep you posted with my progress. There's a few things which may need changing in the WCCPv2 code - specifically to allow one Squid to register L2 -and- GRE depending upon the router. > 3) is it possible to do layer 2 WCCP as against layer 3 ? This is implemeted based on the actual equipement - router routers (eg 2600, 3600, 7200) speak WCCPv2 w/ GRE and not L2. TCAM-based routers (eg 3550, 4500, 6500, 7600) speak WCCPv2 w/ L2. I don't recall there being an option to use L2 redirection on the 2651, 3640 or 7204 I've got here. -- - Xenion - http://www.xenion.com.au/ - Hosting and Commercial Squid Support -
