There is unofficial current "bleeding edge" RHEL Squid packages
available from RedHat, or more precisely from the Squid package
maintainer at RedHat. The URL can be found in the squid-users archives.

I know for certain from both theory and practice that it's sufficient to
disable rp_filter on the created gre tunnel interface.

Here is an example script setting up all networking level parameters
needed for WCCP/WCCP2 using ip_gre:

#!/bin/sh
# Set this to the public/primary IP of the WCCP router
ROUTER=10.0.0.1
iptables-restore <<EOF
*nat
:INTERCEPT -
:PREROUTING ACCEPT
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT
:OUTPUT ACCEPT
-A PREROUTING -j INTERCEPT
COMMIT
EOF

ip link set wccp down 2>/dev/null
ip tunnel del wccp 2>/dev/null

ipaddr=`/sbin/ip addr show dev eth0 | awk '/inet / {print $2}'`
ip=`echo $ipaddr | cut -d/ -f1`
ip tunnel add wccp dev eth0 mode gre remote $ROUTER
ip addr add $ip/32 dev wccp
echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wccp/rp_filter
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ip link set wccp up

iptables -t nat -F INTERCEPT
iptables -t nat -A INTERCEPT -i wccp -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128
#END

This script assumes the WCCP router is on the eth0 interface. Modify as
needed if your network layout is different.

Henrik
