Actually configuring compression is easy in IIS. It has a GUI for this as well. It took me about 5 min to figure it out and implement. What is difficult is per domain/web site compression. IIS does it for all domains hosted on the box. If you want more granular control you will need HttpZip's Port80. I am going off of a 4 year old memory so maybe things are different, probably not though.
IIS's compression is rather impressive. I had a pricing matrix for pricing out screen print t shirts on the fly. The page (mostly javascript) was ~500K. ISS took it down to something like 30-40k.
