Summary: Option to disallow IpCop to use "upstream proxy" for its own

Initial Comment:
A problem I have noticed with ipcop is that if I specify a upstream proxy in IpCop proxy gui, Ipcop will also use that proxy for its own services, for example DynDNS and updates. Sometimes this is not desirable, for example if the upstream proxy is supposed for only them behind ipcop, not ipcop itself.

A suggestion is one of these:

1: Provide a checkbox: "IpCop also needs to use this upstream proxy", if checked, ipcop will use the upstream proxy specified, if unchecked, ipcop will not use a upstream proxy at all.
2: Provide 2 similar sections containing the boxes for "upstream proxy", "upstream proxy username" and "upstream proxy password", one section called "Upstream proxy for users behind IpCop" and one section called "Upstream proxy for IpCop itself".


For the now, I have to grep to find all script files containing references to upstream proxy settings and comment out the whole sections that apply upstream proxy settings for when ipcop itself does things over the internet.
