Thanks!

It should do. I had it working when I had a loaner Cisco 3550..

It needs to be a little friendlier, I agree. The Cisco 3550:

* does hash assignment (like a software router);
* does L2 forwarding (like a switch)
* and I think does GRE redirect (which squid doesn't do atm.)

Yup.

Does vlan6 have an IP address configured? WCCPv2 on a 3550 only works if the
clients are routed through it. It wont work if its being a switch. Clients
need to have vlan6 set as a default gateway.
