Unable to play streaming windows media through forward proxy.

Hi ,

I have apache configured as a forward proxy , and all my machines in the
network use apache as proxy in the browser to access the internet.
I recently came across an issue with a site that streams wmx videos ,and
I am unable to play the videos with any browser through the proxy.
The browser hangs most of the time, or just stops without playing the video=
..
When I try to play the videos without the proxy, they play fine.My media
player settings has http protocol set to browser and other protocols as
no proxy.
The interesting thing observed is that, my apache configuration has
KeepAlive On with a timeout of 3 seconds,when I change the KeepAlive to
Off the video plays fine most of the time.

The URL which is causing the issue is :
"http://www.rtl.nl/components/reality/expeditierobinson/miMe dia/206041/2060=
53.s4m.26000966.Expeditie_Robinson_2009_s5_a12.xml"
Can anyone please help me in this regard.

Thanks,
Manohar.
