 >How many apache 2 hosts don't offer mod_deflate. Personally, I don't know
 any.
 How about Site5.com? A very good host in all other respects.

 be our problem. Especially not if doing so creates boat loads of problems
 on our end.
 I don't think it does create many problems if you only enable it when
 mod_deflate is disabled.

 Anyhow, I agree with you that adding the mod_deflate rules above to the
 default htaccess is a good start.
