Heloooo :-)
Well this is a good oppinion but, what does it happen when somebody make
a big request, the proxy will be unshaped thus it will allocate whole
the line.
A good option is to place another shaper between the proxy and the
internet.
To make it simpler to place the proxy in our DMZ, and place another
shaper for the dmz.
Thanks for the advice my friend
 Best regards
