Alternatively, use an intelligent routing protocol that includes bandwidth,
load and delay as metrics and let the routing protocol handle path selection
automatically "as it should be" (eg., IGRP/EIGRP - unfortunately basically
only an option for Cisco users).

Side question - does anyone know if Cisco has released the specs for either
IGRP or EIGRP?

ObSquidQuestion - since Squid now supports WCCPv1, does anyone know if/when
Cisco will release specs for WCCPv2?
