Well, it's been a while but prompted into further action by requests for more information from Michael Dunnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Simon Thoustrup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> we have now put our changes together for your consideration.
Excellent!
This is a patch to enable WCCPv2 Layer2 redirection on squid. The patch was made for 2.5.STABLE5 but 'patch' offsets the hunks and it does apply cleanly to 2.5.STABLE7 which we have then successfully built and run.
This patch is based on a combination of the other wccpv2 patches that already exist, particularly (IIRC) the visolve-WCCPv2 patch that is referenced at squid.org. The tricky bits like actually making the code changes, extensions and getting it to work for us are the work of James Goodlet.
Any chance we could get some help from you guys (primarily James I suppose) in updating the patch to Squid-3, allowing us to integrate the support into the Squid release?
We will make sure the current patch is maintained for Squid-2.5, but some changes is likely required to update the patch to Squid-3 and in addition our abilities to test this is quite limited due to lack of an WCCPv2 test environment.
The rest of this message body consists of notes relating to the required router configuration and squid.conf settings. The attachments are 'squid.INSTALL.USCS' which are the local build instructions that we use and, of course, 'wccpv2-L2.patch' which is the patch itself.
Is it OK if we reuse these instructions in the Squid FAQ on how to configure WCCPv2?
