We are deploying a commercial appliance as a content filter, so I can only assume that it is running a customized version of Squid but I don't know. Do you have any recommendation on what I should use if WCCP is not recommended? The filter will not be inline, and it will be an opt-in type service, so only certain traffic will need to be redirected. Tks, Steve
