Hi, I have a similar issue with WCCP + RHEL ES v4 and Cisco 1700 Series IOS 12.4(1a), my Router seems to be allright though, but it looks like the problem is with the ip_wccp module that I downloaded from squid-cache.org website, that does not support ip-gre. Therefore I cannot load the ip_gre module in the kernel and create the gre tunnel. Please any hint where to find a patch ip_gre module that support WCCP ?
I wondered if it was a problem specific to the kernel 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP that I run (RHEL ES v4 Update2). Should I go back to Kernel 2.4 ???
