[Mod_gzip] simple question

[Matt Manfredonia]

Does this plugin allow for the serving of statically compressed files

I am interested in (for a few files) compressing(gzip) the files myself to
have two files (files.htm, file.htm.gz).  Since the page is requested a lot,
this would reduce server processing overhead of compressing the output
stream.

Just wanted to know if it was possible, simliliar to the static plugin:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/apache/gzip/get_src.html

Thanks
