It's one server, fulfilling two functions, gateway en network service delivery
The two flows are as follows:
1. Is internet traffic through this server, acting as the router/firewall.
2. Is the network traffic originating from the (same) server to the network.
The network traffic (2) is mail, audio chat, webcam and a little
website with useful stuff. This is only available to users inside the
network, so no effects on the internet link.

I had this idea in the shower this morning, comments please:
:0 HTB
/ \
(HTB) 1:0 2:0 (HTB)
| |
WRR 1:1 1:2 WRR
OK, the parent flow is the network link, so it's set to 100mbps rate &
ceil. The first HTB class (1:0) is shaped to the speed of the ADSL
link, and attached to it is a WRR qdisc for equality on that link. The
second HTB class (2:0) is shaped to (network - ADSL) and also has a
WRR qdisc attached for equality on the network.
I don't know if this is possible, or even feasible, but on paper it makes sense.
