RE: [squid-users] Transparent caching problem

Henrik,

This would work, but will give you some errors on boot as the gre module
won't be loaded before you start the network. What worked for me is to
add this line to /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias gre0 ip_gre

This is assuming that you use Daniel's interface config below. Another
note, contrary to the FAQ, I could not use an address in the 127.0.0.0/8
range, squid never saw any packets. I had to use an address on a
network that no other interfaces were configured for.

Thanks,
 Bryan

Eum.. for security reasons it's recommended to make the WCCP GRE
interface a point-to-point GRE with the router. You should be careful
with from who you accept WCCP/GRE packets..

From what I can tell the GRE support in the RedHat init scripts is
non-existant, so I would recommend to simply add the required commands
in /etc/rc.local for brining up the tunnel proper.
