I tried this, however I'm still not seeing it work, and now I have more
questions!

IPFW:

I am now counting any packets on my GRE rule:

01300 0 0 fwd 127.0.0.1,3128 ip from any to any via gre0 in

I'm also not entirely sure at which level of my firewall rules I should be
inserting this rule. I've tried just before "allow ip from me to any" and
I've tried right at the very start but still, no packets are counted.

CISCO 837:

Which interface am I actually supposed to be running the WCCP redirect on?
I'm starting to think it should be on my Ethernet0 interface, as this is
where the GRE tunnel ends. It sorta makes better sense. Adding the
wccp-redirect lines to it doesn't make any difference though -- users can
still get out without anything going back to the proxy.

If users are getting through, does this mean the wccp redirect is failing
at the router end?

Thanks for any pointers.
