It's working! I good it working yesterday night. Now I can
webbrowse from a Win95/NT machine in my 192.168.1 network to
the 'outside' world.

Key tip was to not use chache_host entries at all and to remove
some firewall entry (not behind a firewall).

:-) I'm quite used to running the -current du jour meanwhile.
CVSsupping and building the whole world in 1.5 hours and a kernel
in 180s on a PPRO make life quite pleasant. And it pays off. Besides
that some ISDN pppd stuff I trying to get working is being
developed under -current.
