    gzip is between the web server and client, CF is not involved.  I know in Apache you turn it on via some settings in the httpd.conf.

    I am a little bit confused. GrandNagel said i should  join CF and IIS  together and you claim that  CF is not involved. Who  is right here?

    It's nothing to do with CF, IIS/Apache needs to get a full copy of the HTML (rendered by CF) before it can zip it up.

    You need to be looking at the Webserver end.

    This is definately natively possible under iis6 if you join CF and IIS together.

    We would need to know more about your environment.

    We used a standalone product called ZipEnable, which worked as an ISAPI plugin I believe - once installed it worked very well without any intervention.

    I do not believe there's a way to do it automatically.
