IIS and If-modified-since [was Re: stingy yahoo server?]

Ok... well, I give up. What is the magic incantation to get IIS to give
back a 304 status? I look through the server logs, and there are 304's all
over the place. However, when I telnet to the web server and make a
conditional request, it retuns the document with a 200 code.

So how do I get it to behave properly?
