Yes. See http://www.lartc.org/ Also, if you are using a RedHat based
gateway, see /etc/sysconfig/cbq/cbq-0000.example for an example. A more
full featured example is in
monster:/usr/share/doc/shapecfg-<version>/README.cbq

This has to be done at the proxy level as the kernel's QoS policies do
not examine the contents of the HTTP packet.

Correct. The trick is to force all HTTP requests via the proxy and
throttle it at proxy level and the rest of the traffic will be shaped
using the kernel's QoS rules.
