Why the static:all at the end? The !192.168.0.0/16 is supposed to
allow external clients. Further, your suggestion has the effect of
allowing all clients, even the internal ones, which is equivalent to
not having any limit.
If the solution I suggested doesn't do what you want, then you
need to more clearly state your goals.
If you want to rate limit everything except a couple of
internal clients, then just list those client IPs and nothing
else.
