Hi, This is vaguely on-topic/applicable:
The recommendation in the WAAS documentation, which can also use WCCP (v2), is to "intercept and redirect packets on the inbound interface whenever possible". I assume the same reasons (router resources/processing) apply to WCCP (v1 or v2) and web caches. You want the router to handle the traffic as few times as possible so redirecting OUT should be avoided. cheers, Dale On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 10:45 AM, Scott Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Follow the path of traffic.... > > PC --> fa0/0 (router) s0/0 --> Internet - Web Server > > From the router's perspective, at the fa0/0 interface the web request is > INbound.
