It's no longer an issue IF you're using apache 2 for your proxy. If you'd like to submit a doc patch to that effect, we'd be happy to have it. > 2. I use mod_gzip for inline compression.

Any recommendations? Usually you don't send requests for actual static files to the heavy httpd at all, which means they wouldn't get compressed if you don't put it in the proxy. By the way, I think mod_deflate has pretty much replaced mod_gzip for apache 2 at this point. - Perrin
