Ok.

.. which should redirect traffic from all LAN ports to the WCCP cache,
and hopefully not redirect traffic from the cache itself.

if this were a router, I'd do:

"show ip wccp web-cache detail"

to see if the router is seeing the cache, see what redirection/assignment method
its chosen, and make sure that its actively redirecting traffic -to- the thing.

I know the -routers- don't require a web cache group to be defined (but its a
good thing to do, much like enabling MD5 auth :) but I haven't got a PIX
yet to test it out on.
