Thanks for the leads and the clarification.
It's clear now. What wasn't clear IMHO is the remark you mentioned above
that you don't need these incomming rules anymore, because the proxy takes
care of it. That is why i became confused. After you explained how it works
it's clear and my worries are gone. :-)
Maybe these remarks could also be included in the manual pages as change
from 3.8 to 3.9?

On the other hand, i should have read the upgrade document which i didn't.
Bye,

Reinoud.
