I've managed to get Squid-2.6+WCCPv2 to work fine under Linux+iptables
but I've been completely unable to do it under FreeBSD+pf. I know
redirected requests are working fine, its just the GRE decapsulation
thats being weird. Just like you've noticed.
Its nice to know someone else is having the same problem.
Is anyone here successfully running WCCPv1 or WCCPv2 with FreeBSD 6.x?
