[Mongrel] compress and max upload size?

[Xavier Noria]

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to  
enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file  
size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache,  
but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives  
(the conf goes below).

Is there a way to get this?
