RE: [squid-users] Configuring for WCCP

Well, the access map can be shut off pretty quickly. But it's a matter
of convenience. If it goes off at 3:00 AM, the pager has to wake me up
to alert me of a problem, and then get up and switch it. Not a huge
deal, but if WCCP worked like this, it may be nice. However, if it
really jacks up the load on the router, it may not be worth it.

Can you change your static access-map as quickly as your router can
decide that your proxy is off-line? I think this is the main advantage.

I've heard reports that using WCCP -can- significatnly increase the load
on your router, but I have no direct experience.
