I think this would be a great idea, I am also in this boat where I would
like to shape on more than one interface. I realize it can be done
manually, but it would be nice if the wizard took care of it.
Is there any more documentation on pfsense's traffic shaping that what
is listed in the monowall handbook?
http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/trafficshaper.html
I would like to limit the opt interface to 384kbits up/down and
guarantee that a certain machine or machine's on the lan side get higher
priority than anything else, for any traffic they send. Along with the
Ack rules so that downloads don't kill latency. Since you can only
shape traffic what is sent on an interface, the Wan queue has to deal
with limiting traffic coming from opt1, which I don't understand how to
do yet.

Not being very familiar with the traffic shaper, I find it hard to
fully grasp yet (all the queues and such), but something you might
consider adding eventually is an ultra-simple "shape by interface"
setup.
For example - I have a LAN, a DMZ, and an untrusted wireless DMZ. I
want the LAN and DMZ to have unfettered, top-priority access to the
WAN bandwidth, and give some of what's leftover to the wireless DMZ,
with a cap of, say, 512Kb/s.
I _think_ I have most of this set up, but had to go through several
iterations of the wizard and cutting out chunks it added in to get it
where I want it. Now I have to go test.
Anyone else smell what I'm standing in? Is this a bad or untenable idea?
