Apache + DEFLATE : Does not work

Hello
We have Apache serving our static contents and Jboss to serve the
dynamic data / transactions. We have changed configuration in Apache
so that I can use html/xml/java script compression using mod_deflate.
But the problem is I am not able to receive compressed contents in
browser. I have verified this in mozilla (2.0.0.9) using Firebug
addon.
Can you please help me in this.

Here is the sample configuration

<VirtualHost X.Y.Z.W:80>
ServerAdmin preetamp@aftek.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/java/jboss-4.0.3SP1/server/default/deploy/
sample.ear/sample.war"
ServerName sample.aftek.com

ErrorLog logs/sample-error_log
TransferLog logs/sample-access_log


JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories


JkMount /sample worker1
JkMount /sample/* worker1

JkUnMount /sample/images/* worker1
JkUnMount /sample/css/* worker1
JkUnMount /sample/js/* worker1


DeflateFilterNote Input instream
DeflateFilterNote Output outstream
DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio

LogFormat '"%r" %{outstream}n/%{instream}n (%{ratio}n%%) "%{User-
agent}i"' deflate
CustomLog logs/deflate_log deflate

<Location /sample>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

Version Info
Jboss: jboss-4.0.3SP1
Apache: httpd-2.0.52-28
Mod_jk: mod_jk-1.2.15-1

Also
I suspect there is something going wrong in response headers :
"Vary : Accept-Encoding"

Thanks for help in advance.

Thanks & Best Regards
~Preetam

To add one more thing
I tested this with mozilla and firebug from outside my organization
(from my home) and to my surprise it working. I am able to see the
reduced size java script (7K instead of 29K)
But it still not working from inside my organization. Am I behind any
proxy?

Thanks Again.
