Hmmm, thanks for the enlightening and you make me wonder - didn't I see 
either a comment or a post some long time ago which said that reverse 
proxying of LivePages does not work - '...because the server need more 
control over the connection...' or so?

That's why I never attempted to do reverse proxying with LivePages.
