[squid-users] WCCP Help Request (last time)

I am going around and around on this WCCP issue and am considering
giving up in favor of policy based routing.

Please allow me to re-phrase my question and invite any suggestions or
comments.

Fedora Core 3
2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel
ip_gre module from Fedora Core 3
Squid 2.5.STABLE10
Cisco 6506 12.1(26)E1

I followed these instructions:

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

plus including:

wccp_router 10.10.254.254 in squid.conf

Squid server is 10.10.10.211.
Router is 10.10.254.254

tcpdump -n -i eth0 'host 10.10.254.254' shows this:

15:54:56.267637 IP 10.10.10.211.2048 > 10.10.254.254.2048: UDP, length
52
15:55:06.275774 IP 10.10.10.211.2048 > 10.10.254.254.2048: UDP, length
52

while debug ip wccp packets shows this:

Aug 3 21:57:39.343 UTC: WCCP-PKT: Sending I_See_You packet to
10.10.10.211 w/ rcvd_id 000002A5
Aug 3 21:57:50.295 UTC: WCCP-PKT: Sending I_See_You packet to
10.10.10.211 w/ rcvd_id 000002A6

Isn't it curious that the server only shows packets going to the router
and the router only shows packets going to the server? Where are the
return packets?

Should the distributed FC3 kernel and ip_gre module work?

Any suggestions to prevent me from pulling out my hair any further are
very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Grant
