You could bind apache to a dummy interface on a different IP then 'route' traffic through the shaper device. It was just installed automatically on my laptop's RedHat 7.2 system. Looking through the doco's suggests it hasn't had much done to it lately.

Description : The Shapecfg program configures and adjusts traffic shaper bandwidth limiters. Traffic shaping means setting parameters or limit to which network traffic should conform--setting limitations on bandwidth consumption. To use Shapecfg, you must have also installed the kernel which supports the shaper module (kernel versions 2.0.36 or later and late 2.1.x kernels). Install the shapecfg package if you want to set traffic bandwidth parameters, and if you have the appropriate kernel. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
