heh, well, you learn something every day!

actually, I'm not so sure.  I just logged into a cat4507R here running
12.2(25)EWA1.  (not 12.2S but...).
there isn't any "ip wccp" configure command, let alone any "show fm
wccp" type command that would show the feature being programmed into a
TCAM.

so - I still think its likely specific to cat6k only.
