I have tried this patch in the past and it worked very well.

The only reason I didn't use in production yet is because it does not
really help me because here Apache is generating the pages with some
Server Side Includes. I did some tests and if the content of a SSI
changes, Apache will not update the original etag since the static
html never changed.

But this is a limitation of Apache and not the patch. Give it a try! :)
