(nb, yes, cisco do have WCCP - however, with it effectively being a proprietary protocol, and whilst some of the functionality is possible in policy-based-routing, you lose out big time when your cache isn't functioning and the router is still (blindly) feeding it all the http-flows).
If a Cache Engine goes down - the remainder of the farm will redistribute the load - if the farm is unresponsive the core router will stop redirecting port 80 until such a time as it can start communicating with a cache speaking WCCP once again. -- I am nothing if not net-Q! - ras@poppa.clubrich.tiac.net
