Lonnie,
  I think Michael is asking about limiting inbound traffic, not outbound.
The SHAPER_P2P_HOSTS setting I think only applies to outbound traffic...
because as you state we implemented it for the case where you have a NAS
server on local network uploading to a cloud-based backup and we wanted
that to have lowest priority.
