Re: Does haproxy support wccp(Web Cache Communication Protocol) ?

At Loadbalancer.org we simulate WCCP support (i.e. put your proxy in WCCP mode and it will automatically accept traffic from the load balancer:)  by using:
LVS in DR mode with firewall marks + force ALL traffic for any IP to the local_in...

This gives full transparent proxy aka. WCCP. (without the CISCO hash stuff)

You also need to configure the routing of the clients to go via the load balancer transparently.

The firewall rules required are explained in this doc: http://loadbalancer.org/pdffiles/Web_Proxy_Deployment_Guide.pdf
