WCCP from branch office

[donshoutarp]

I'm using R60 HFA4

I'm trying to uses WCCP to redirect http at a branch office to a URL filtering device at the main data center.

I'm not a WCCP expert, but it appears that the branch router encapuslates the packet from the branch PC to the URL filter. The URL filter processes the requests and sends the resluts back directly to the remote PC.

The firewall at the data center is seeing this as an out of state packet and dropping it.

Has anyone else gotten this to work?

I should have said that the firewall is seeing the traffic as Spoofed. The URL filtering device is send the traffic back to the remote PC with the source as the public web site and the destination as the branch. The firewall sees the public address on an internal network and blocks the traffice as spoofed.

It is Web Cache Communications Protocol and is a Cisco protocol for redirecting http traffic from there routers/firewall to a WCCP enabled content filtering system.

I have had it working but never through a Check Point firewall.

Well, you can probably figure out how much help I can be on this one. :-)
