Excactly where do you mean I should turn this off?

Turning off Apache mod_deflate solves the problem. However, it's 
probably not the "ultimate" solution as I wager the customer wants to 
still use the deflate module. Setting

         # Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
         Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary

in Apache's site configuration doesn't seem to help when mod_deflate is 
active. I assume the remedy is playing around with more Apache options, 
I'm grateful any input here.

Cheers,

-Torstein
