[squid-users] WCCP Setup

Greetings List,

I am attempting to set up WCCP with a Cisco Cat 6506 and Squid.

squid-2.5.STABLE9-1.FC3.6
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)
2.6.11-1.27_FC3

I have followed the instructions from this article:

http://www.linux-mag.com/content/view/1957/2303/

Which basically boils down to:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward (and add to sysctl.conf)

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

in squid.conf

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT
--to-port 3128

iptunnel add gre1 mode gre remote \
        ip-address-of-router local ip-address-of-squid-cache \
        dev eth0
ifconfig gre1 127.0.0.2 up

Cisco> enable
Cisco# config t
Cisco(config)# ip wccp version 1
Cisco(config)# ip wccp web-cache
Cisco(config)# int your-outgoing-interface
Cisco(config-if)# ip wccp web-cache redirect out
Cisco(config-if)# end
Cisco# write mem

But the switch still doesn't see the cache (as shown by sh ip wccp).

One question that I have:

I didn't recompile squid from source, but simply used the FC3 RPM. Does
anyone know if that package is compiled with the
--enable-linux-netfilter and --enable-wccp options? Can you tell how to
check?

Any other comments or suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks!

Grant
