My goal is to let Squid or another opensource program gzip the html, since I have Squid installed on another machine, where cputime is not an issue. I've been reading page up&down and Squid dosen't seem to support gzip encoding in Webaccelerator mode. I haven't tried feeding it gzipped html, which could be a solution, if there was a way of having Squid handle all content as binary. What do you guys & girls do to minimize bandwidth usage? // chris"

OK you talked me into it. I'm compiling mod_gzip right now.

By the morning all 88 of my web servers will be running it. If I get problems, I'll send 'em to you ;-)
