Do you have your apache configured to force IE to http/1.0, per the default
apache config files? IE's HTTP/1.1 implementation gets really wacky
with regard to things like keep-alives.  In other situations (unrelated to RT)
I've had no end to trouble dealing with servinng secure content to users
running IE :/

That would actually be rather difficult to pull off. What content _do_ you
want to cache?
