I can't vouch for the authority of the site, but http://schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/config.htm implies that mod_gzip can actually replace outdated precompressed files when the uncompressed 'companion' file is newer than the precompressed file present: "# automatic updates for statically precompressed files mod_gzip_update_static No # (if set to 'Yes', this directive (being new in version 1.3.26.1a) would # cause mod_gzip to automatically update an outdated version of any # statically precompressed file during the request, i. e. compress the # originally requested file and overwrite the precompressed variant # file with it!" This means that you would need to 'preseed' the web site with precompressed copies of all files to be provided in compressed form, but after that mod_gzip would handle updating those files by itself. Please note that I don't have any mod_gzip experience myself, I just got intrigued by this thread and went exploring a little. Cheers, Tobias
