Hello,

I've been looking for quite some time for instructions on using WCCPv2.
squid-cache.org  docs section points to visolve, and their site has nothing on 
WCCPv2 that I can find.  I've read sooo many posts regarding how to set it up, 
but most of the posts have to do with version 1, which virtually NO Cisco 
device supports anymore.  For ver2, the Cisco docs are at least clear, so I 
think I have that side set up correctly.  From what I have gleaned, I should do 
the following:

I'm using CENTOS 4.3 and SQUID-2.6STABLE3

Modprobe ip_gre

iptunnel add gre1 mode gre remote <ip-address-of-router> local 
<ip-address-of-squid-cache> dev eth0 ifconfig gre1 127.0.0.2 up

from /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.ip_forward =3D 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter =3D 1
kernel.sysrq =3D 0

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT 
--to-ports 3128

Are these the correct steps?  This info was from a doc on version 1.
What's missing?  Is there a current HOWTO for today's most current builds (Sept 
14, 2006 as of this writing)?

I am seeing WCCP packets flow just fine, the cache is registered with the 
router, I see the SYN packets inside the GRE tunnel redirected from the router, 
but Squid never attempts to actually send a SYN out to the world to get content.

Thanks very much for any help!
