OK, so the new changes are to handle proxies and caches with Vary headers 
and exclude rules to better serve all browsers :)

Is there a recommended config section for maximizing the effectiveness of 
cached pages? Or a good list of exclude rules that should be used? I see 
many examples, but not sure which ones are the best, etc...? Maybe I 
should read some more :) 

The part that I am unsure of enabling is mod_gzip_can_negotiate, as I do 
not think we will utiltize it...

I appreciate your answers to my questions.
