That's exactly what I have at the moment so that's great. One last question - is it possible to use simple traffic shaping in conjunction with a transparent proxy on the firewall or will you lose per ip traffic shaping since all web traffic is (re)generated by the proxy server? I do simple shaping on the web-side interface.
