Their proxy appears to be some completely broken mixture of 1.1 and 1.0.
It asks an "If-None-Match" question in an HTTP/1.0 request! That's wrong!
Piece of crap. And look at that "Via" header... if only they'd include
the product token in the Via header, we could filter their crap.
Here's one of the requests that I think is being delayed:

Notice that Apache says "Connection: Keep-Alive" in the 304 response...
because the 304 response has no body... and it's totally justified in
doing that for HTTP/1.1 -- where we want to support pipelined massive
revalidation of caches.
But maybe we're not allowed to do that with a HTTP/1.0 client.
Have to re-read the standard.
At any rate, if you disable keepalive on the apache host it'll work
around the problem.
