Well this is a good oppinion but, what does it happen when somebody make a big request, the proxy will be unshaped thus it will allocate whole the line.
A good option is to place another shaper between the proxy and the internet.
To make it simpler to place the proxy in our DMZ, and place another shaper for the dmz.
Thanks for the advice my friend
Best regards

This way you have more control over the traffic. Admittedly, you are not truly shaping the total bandwidth available to you (some of the traffic will be returning to your clients from the proxy without ever going out to the internet) but maybe with some tweaking of the traffic shaping you can allow for this ?
