Hi Nick,

I just want to redirect an internal request to an external server by 
replacing the incoming host-name to the real external server host name.

I do also want to process the response via the chain .... 
DEFLATE->MY_FILTER--->INFLATE.

Since mod_deflate skips the filter process after identifying that the 
request is not main request. This stops me in processing the response from 
MY_FILTER.

Thanks,
Mani
