The problem is that WCCP works on the IP level which you cannot use the
same IP to the same transparent service.
Also you need to a configure exceptions on the cisco for traffic which
comes from one service to not pass into the second service.
I dont know what your network load but squid works using EPOLL which
will decrease the traffic load on the cpu by more then 100% compared to
regular SOCKET.
Is this a self compiled squid or from of the repositories?
if it's from one of the repos from which?

If you do ask me just put the squid machine in bridge mode just to see
the actual load of the network to understand if wccp is better the
bridge mode.

I have written about how to use squid as transparent cache proxy with WCCP.
