Just FYI the 'load balancing' software isn't load balancing as such, it hashes the IP addresses of the requested pages and from this hash decides which proxy of the set it is aware of to send the request to.

Load balancing implies that WCCP is checking load on the caches, it isn't that would make things a hell of a lot slower polling caches hundreds of times a second :|
