don't know if anybody has replied to you privately or not, but you
probably want to take a look at the pf(4) man page, specifically the
bits about queueing. I'm sure you can probably get pf(4) to do what
you want with a little time, thought and testing.

Or is there another solution or recommendation someone can make.

Thanks in advance for any help

p.s. Have had no problems getting openbsd to run and think I'm gong to 
convert from Linux, as it just seems to be a hell of a lot better.  Keep 
up the good work.
