In short, the Web Cache Communications Protocol, "... specifies 
interactions between one or more routers (or Layer 3 switches) and one 
or more web-caches ...".

Link - Web Cache Communications Protocol (WCCP)

WCCP can be pressed into service between an in-path device (usually L3) 
and a cache.  As such, I would hope ~> expect that the pseudo L3 
firewall can do it's work while using WCCP to allow a backend proxy do 
the actual caching, et la.
