protocol integer	Service protocol.
return_method string	Method used to decline a redirected packet and return it to the FortiGate unit. Choices: GRE L2 any
router_id string	IP address known to all cache engines. If all cache engines connect to the same FortiGate interface, use the default 0.0.0.0.
router_list list / elements=string	IP addresses of one or more WCCP routers.
server_list list / elements=string	IP addresses and netmasks for up to four cache servers.
server_type string	Cache server type. Choices: forward proxy
service_id string	Service ID.
