Hmm, leaf looks like a very interesting project.  THanks for the link

I think I wasn't clear though:  I understand what I need to do to limit 
traffic into the whole network, it's limiting it to the bridge machine 
that is causing me problems

Consider:

Internet -> Router -> Eth1 -> br0 -> Eth0 -> local net

Now by applying QOS to eth1 I control outgoing traffic from everywhere.  
By applying QOS to eth0 I control incoming to the localnet (great), but 
NOT to the local bridge machine

Now I could fix this by using the IMQ device on eth1 and grabbing 
incoming traffic, but the top of the file at 
http://digriz.org.uk/jdg-qos-script/ implies that it is possible to do 
this without IMQ... 

The question is how?  I don't see how to do it....  What am I missing?

Thanks
