Looks basically ok.  yes, I have the same as you have working just fine.

What version of code are you running?  In my experience WCCP has gotten 
progressively broken with the 12.3T series from 12.3(7)T onwards.  The 12.3 
mainline releases are OK I think.

Is your cache on the same interface as the client browsers are on?

Are you using the WCCP kernel module or the ip_gre interface under Linux?

Can you manually configure a browser to use the proxy?

Can you surf from the proxy itself?

Are you using NAT?

Heaps of questions (sorry), WCCP is a bit fiddly at the best of times but 
works well once it's actually installed and working.  There are a few gotchas 
with it...
