Re: [squid-users] Squid, WCCP, transparent proxy

hmmmm if you have just single cache for your network then no need to run
WCCP ... I will suggest better to redirect port 80 traffic to your cache
simple is that. and of course iptables or ipchains will redirect your
traffic.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
