Permalinks Reported Incorrectly

Question

Running Vibe 3.3
Setup
Http = 80
Https = 443
Listen = 8080
Listens = 8443
Using the NAM. Connecting on port 8080. (Used to use port mapping on the Vibe server, but this was very flakey on boot etc.)
Links in emails are fine.
See extract from Vibe Page. Notice the permalinks are set at 8080. The email, RSS etc are all okay.
Not sure if this is since Version 3.3 or as a result of using the NAM recently upgraded to 3.2.2-77
As we got filr working fine through NAM, we duplicated the setup for Vibe (Ignoring the Vibe documentation mostly). The only difference being it doesn't work unless the re-writer is enabled contrary to the doco.
Code:

I usually add this to the /etc/init.d/after.local (if it does not already exist, simply create it)
#----after.local begin script
#!/bin/bash
#Redirect port incoming traffic on port 80 to 8080:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d localhost -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d $HOSTNAME -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $HOSTNAME -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
#Redirect port incoming traffic on port 443 to 8443:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d localhost -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d $HOSTNAME -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $HOSTNAME -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443
#----end script
Do note that when using the $HOSTNAME environment variable, check that 'ping $HOSTNAME' returns the servers listening IP address you intend to do the redirect for.
I think integration/interaction between Vibe and NAM (or is it the other way around ) could be tighter. Still, with the settings within Vibe and for the reverse proxy set to use the same names and ports it should work without issue. Not sure it can be seen as bug, more of a limitation.
If you have good additional ideas on what you would like to see, https://www.novell.com/rms is the way to drop your idea/request/enhancement in.
