Re: [squid-users] Physical setup between Cisco and LAN Segment

you can just configure wccp on the cisco to redirect all the http traffice
to the squid box...

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-17.html#ss17.11

then you only need one ethernet segment in the cache box, and all the
other traffic on the network doesn't need to be bridged through the linux
box...
