There are three problem even if above case is in use.
1 Cache appliance receives icmp redirect, if the gateway is
not suitable to go. And the disaster happens, when the
redirected router is down.
2 We see the same packet twice, if the packet redirected.
This may lead higher cpu usage for the router.
