Not that I am aware of.

I think each worker will be emitting separate WCCP packts to the
router. If they are all sharing http_port entries then there should be
no problem, as long as one worker is running the router will see the
proxy as alive. With differet http_port between workers they can
confuse the router and cause it to reset its traffic mappings up to
every 10 seconds.

There may also be problems with receiving back the WCCP reply from
router as no guarantee it goes to the right worker. Some may receive
multiple packets and some workers might think their router has gone
away as it dont reply often enough. This should only affect Squid
workers which have never received any router reply before receiving
HTTP, once they get one packet they cache the details until updated.
