I'm using ip policy route-map in conjunction with Linux's firewall and
Squid.. Works pretty good.. I was trying to find out what the advantage of
using wccp vs. the policy route-map was.. I HAVE noticed a few things..
First, When a user goes to a page and hits refresh, it doesn't send the
refresh request to squid.. I've head several web authors have to by-pass the
blind proxy by manually putting the proxy settings into the browser... I'm a
tad baffled by this...
