This is now resolved.

It appears with IIS 6.0 the headers are handled differently than in previous
version.  If you compare the returned headers in IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0 you will
see quite a few are missing.  BEA recommended adding the following line to
iisproxy.ini:
WLSendHdrSeparately=ON 
(need to bounce the IIS Admin server for it to take effect)

With this additional setting I am now seeing weblogic traffic returned as
compressed.

See the following for more information on the particular IIS settings:
