So NEW means the IP was never seen before and the SYN flag means, that a 
new connection begins? So the first packet from a source adress is NEW 
whether or nor it has the SYN flag set ?

Is that correct?

If this is the case, than i need only the SYN flag to let establish 
incoming connection to my apache-Server?
