Well :) i'm using with success squid+cisco+other_linuxes_as_redirectors with
wccp too.

there is an info from http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy.html
Note that this document focuses only on HTTP proxing. I get many emails
asking about transparent FTP proxying. Squid can't do it.

so HOW to do transparent of MTA, FTP, DNS or any other if the SQUID daemon
is not for that???,,, and what i've seen on kernel, that the only thing
working stuff with REDIRECT firewall target is SQUID .

SQUID cannot pass any traffic other that WWW (as i've seen from docs),
the transparent ftp cache'ing isn't possible via squid too (only acts as
w3cache)

So what to do ??? the only way i thing is possible is to hack dns replies
for any MX, to pointer to my MTA .
