Okay, this is probably a really dumb question, but I
can't figure out how to control the upload bandwidth
of users in a NAT situation. It's a totally trivial
setup:
<users> - <obsd firewall> - <dsl modem>
Using PF for NAT, PPPoE on the obsd box (WAN
connection of the obsd box has a single public IP).
Create some queues... controlling the amount of
download bandwidth is pretty straightforward... each
individual user has their own IP address, each IP
address can match a pass line and then get assigned to
a queue. Problem is with upload. Apparently, no
matter what I do, I cannot assign an IP address an
upload queue because (I think) the translation is
occuring before I can match... so all of the clients
are basically matching to the external public IP... so
basically I can't individually control the upload
bandwidth.
I was wondering if anybody else encountered this
problem or would be willing to give me a clue as to
where to look to beign solving it.

Just un idea which i didn;t try myself. Try to tag every packet from the
internal network and then put it in the right queue with a separate rule
for that. Please tell me if it works :-)
