I would guess that either firewalling or routing messes things up.

Have you verified with tcpdump how far things get? I.e. do you see the
SYN packets from those networks or is it completely silent?

Please remember that routing when using WCCP is a bit special. The cahce
engine will respond with the originally contacted ip:port to the client
source ip:port, and this might easily get trapped in firewall or nat
rules when running WCCP on a firewall.

So I would say you are already bending the limits of what this device is
supposed to support.
