Tom,

I''ve done some experiments with simple traffic shaping that you
suggested. It seems to shape per connection and not necessarily per source IP
address.

For instance if I have a machine doing 4 simultaneous downloads and another
doing just one download the second machine does not get 50% of the bandwidth but
only about 20-30%.  Ideally I''d like both machines to have 50%

Seems to work well, thanks.  Will keep an eye on it.

Then add simple shaping on the LAN side and set the interface type to
''Internal''.
