Oh really? I tried using the ip_gre module before with a 
gre0 interface, but that didn't seem to work.

I'd be happy to use the ip_gre module, as, like you say, 
updating the kernel would mean I'm free from having to 
recompile the ip_wccp module; and since it's built 
correctly in the kernel, it's more likely work off the 
bat than ip_wccp would.

My current kernel version is 2.6.5, so I don't think 
ip_gre will satisfy me. I'll soon be upgrading my OS and 
will be running 2.6.11; I trust that will have the 
support you mention.

Do you have an implementation schedule? Like firewall 
rules for GRE, interface configurations, kernel patches 
if necessary, Squid configurations e.t.c., and any other 
gotchas?

Mark.
