RE: [squid-users] Tproxy iptables rules issue

As Amos said, we are close to a solution, I am in the middle of load
testing it to make sure things are ok.

Loading testing it has been delayed a little more than planned because I
am having that same annoying GRE tunnel problem I noted back in May. It
appears that the GRE tunnel setup on the Linux server running Squid is
not the same when the WCCP router identifier is not on the same logical
IP subnet...either that or there is a screwy problem between IOS version
numbers.

I soon as I finish the load testing, I will update the wiki article,
because it is way off now.
