Not sure what you mean by "only gracefully handles home networks"..
My setup is using the OPT1 inteface bridged to the WAN interface, I have
nothing on the LAN interface and I don't want to use NAT for my Asterisk
server because that causes other issues with SIP.
So, I guess then that the only way for me to get traffic shaping with my
bridged setup is to do it manually?
If so, can anyone recommend a how to or tutorial that explains the traffic
shaper in somewhat easy to understand lingo?
I read some of the docs before but just didn't get it.
I think someone mentioned a decent beginners tutorial for traffic shaping
but not sure if it was on this list or the mono list a while back when I was
watching that.

Nope, at this time the wizard only gracefully handles home networks.
I ripped out that functionality a while back cause it was causing
problems - I now have a workaround and need to rewrite it. I'd expect
it to take a couple weeks and probably won't be in place for the 1.0
release as we're really trying to iron out the remaining bugs and I've
no wish to restart the release cycle at this point.

Sorry, my question was not asked correctly..
Should have been:
Since my Asterisk server is on not on the LAN interface and is on the OPT
1
(DMZ) interface with the
rest of my servers, will I really benefit from the traffic shaping that
will
be setup by this wizard?
