We evaled this for a bit: http://www.preact.co.uk/performance/products/jetnexus/jet-nexus/ Was actually quite neat. Sadly it comes with a pricetag of a couple of grand so we haven't rushed out to buy a copy yet.
In response to you question on spiders. It shouldn't have any effect on them at all. If Googlebot has a http_accept_encoding of gzip then it is sayig that gzipped pages are fine. If it doesn't accept gzip then don't gzip. In essence, you should always check for this variable and gzip accordingly.
