It occurs to me that the Shorewall compiler's handling of the above rule
is wrong in all Shorewall-perl versions that support it. The generated
'-m hashlimit' match is being applied twice to each rule; once in the
NAT table and once in the filter table. I'll release a fix for that
shortly. But in the mean time, I would recommend using two rules:
REDIRECT- (with no RATE LIMIT) and an ACCEPT rule that includes the RATE
LIMIT.

I have no idea. I've never tried to limit HTTP connections per-IP but
10/sec seems high, given that you have a generous burst value (15).
