    Not to be overly pedantic, but you need to have RemoveServerHeader set to 
    0, not 1.
    A setting of 1 removes it altogether, regardless of what the Alternate is 
    set to.
    
    To cross post a bit, I think it interesting that a single "GET" on IIS 5 
    does not reflect an alternate setting- it will tell you the default, but 
    not the alternate.  IIS4 gives you both...   a "GET / HTTP/1.x" does give 
    it to you on both, but not just a "GET"...
