Hi Eric, The best way I know how is by using PF and ALTQ. You will need to recompile your kernel to support ALTQ (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-pf. html) Once that's done you will need to spend some time reading Peter Hansteen's PF manual, http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/. (If you are impatient you can skip straight to http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/en/altqintro.html but I would recommend reading the entire manual.) Once you've managed to wrap your head around pf and you've written and implemented your rule set I would also recommend installing pftop to check that your queues are working. (pftop -v queue) If you need further help, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your rule set and what's happening or not happening.
