[afnog] FreeBsd5.2 + Squid + Wccp-v2

[Volven_res]

Sorry Mark,

I am actually using Squid-2.5.Stable5, it was mistake in my earlier post. I actually started the way you have put it. 

If i run the squid as a transparent proxy without the Wccp it works fine. The reason i wanted to use wccp is that my traffic is not halted if my Cache is down !

Maybe i shall look at Linux..

Thanks

Volven
