I have mod_deflate loaded for the entire server.  I then have the
following:

  <Proxy balancer://cyapm>
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8100
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8101
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8102
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8103
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8104
  </Proxy>

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteLog "logs/rewrite_log"

  RewriteRule ^/timesheets$ balancer://cyapm/timesheets/   [proxy]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
(engine_files|images|javascripts|stylesheets)/(.*)$
  RewriteRule ^/timesheets/(.*)$ balancer://cyapm/$1   [proxy]

  # Punt any pontential 404s to the proxy
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^/timesheets/.*
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://cyapm/$1   [proxy]


If I access one of the mongrels directly, I get compressed output (4k),
with the "Content-Encoding: gzip" and "Vary: Accept-Encoding" headers set .
Accessing the app through Apache gets me zero compression (40k), with no
"Content-Encoding" header, and "Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent" . I use
LiveHTTPHeaders in Firefox to see this. I suspect that Apache is not
passing the "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" headers through the balancer to
the mongrels, thus the compression is not kicking in.

Any thoughts?
