Hi Joe,

WAAS is not VRF aware. You need to dedicate one WAAS appliance per VRF.

However starting from IOS 15.0(1)M WCCP is vrf aware on ISR platforms. This can be used when you only have one VRF and you need to dedicate WAAS for that VRF.

When you have multiple VRFs then you cannot use the same WAAS device for all of them.

Another option to implement WAAS in a VRF environment is using route leaking but need to make sure there are no overlapping subnets.

This should help:
