How can I configure IIS to automatically serve static resources (pictures, javascript, css and so on) compressed for clients that support it – and serve "normal" content for clients that does not support compression ?
Also, can IIS6 cache the compressed version of the resources for me, so that I don't need to burn CPU cycles for doing the compression, on each request ?
I need to enable this for a specific folder on the website.

It's probably not gzip, but here's the lowdown on HTTP compression in IIS 6: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/d52ff289-94d3-4085-bc4e-24eb4f312e0e.mspx?mfr=true
