Any chance we could get some help from you guys (primarily James I
suppose) in updating the patch to Squid-3, allowing us to integrate the
support into the Squid release?

We will make sure the current patch is maintained for Squid-2.5, but some
changes is likely required to update the patch to Squid-3 and in addition
our abilities to test this is quite limited due to lack of an WCCPv2 test
environment.

Is it OK if we reuse these instructions in the Squid FAQ on how to
configure WCCPv2?
