Re: [SQU] load-balancing using squid and cisco

Does WCCP v1 also provide me with the option to only
redirect trafic to the cache servers originating from
a specified range of IP adresses or does all trafic
passing the interface wccp runs on get redirected to the
caching servers.

I have an ATM/STM-1 connection with 2 pvc's over which
trafic will enter my network.
