You can configure squid to use the l2 redirection method by using:

wccp2_forwarding_method 2

In the squid config file. Its a global thing; it'll use that forwarding
method for all devices.

You then just configure interception on the Linux server as you would
for GRE - you don't need the GRE tunnel but you keep the port 80 redirect
rule.

You'll want to use the mask assignment method over the default hash
method - the mask assignment method will allow a lot more traffic to
be redirected in hardware rather than being punted to the MSFC for
classification. All the classification is done in hardware rather than
bugging the MSFC for all/part of it.

wccp2_assignment_method 2

(I haven't tested the mask assignment method stuff here as I don't yet
have anything that speaks mask assignment yet. I've had reports that
it works fine with a 6500/7600 w/ Sup32.)

As for multicast; I'm working on tidying up the WCCPv2 support to allow
for future flexibility but I haven't got a timeframe for multicast support.
If anyone would like to sponsor WCCPv2 multicast support then please
let me know.
