I found the problem. Looks like the client does a query for
http://192.168.111.9/wpad.dat.

and I can ping wpad (no dns suffix added)

Which would actually rely on apaches "default" virtual host.

I confirmed this by copying the wpad.dat file to /var/www.

All works.

Now to figure what my next step is / or how im going to fix this, cause
I dont like that default used, but good to know its "working"
