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"...
