Re: [squid-users] WCCP Module for WCCP Version 2

I found this thread:
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200201/0136.html
Quite old...

This thread indicates, that the kernel module ip_gre is rather incomplete in
regards to wccp handling. Regarding this thread the ip_wccp patch was created
to resolve this issue.
Does this still apply?

My kernel is 2.4.32.

Thanks.
Regards,
Martin
