i can't comment on the tcpdump traces Henrik included; if they're generated
from tcpdump running on the same host as the ip_wccp module then we don't
know for sure if the information is correct. (and only partial traces are
posted).

with only anecdotal inforrmation posted, which may have been collected from
a tainted collection point, i can't comment on the validity or otherwise.

tainted collection point.
