If you want to queue inbound traffic (LAN->WAN), why not just queue it

I want to queue the traffic coming _in_ from the WAN,
and I want all that traffic in one queue and have
multiple interfaces on the box.  I use a queue
to cut the maximum bandwidth allowed on the WAN
link to below the link's capacity thus allowing
me to prioritize and otherwise shape the link's
traffic.
