I didn't know if there was other (LAN) traffic that needed shaping 
aswell as internet traffic.

If bulk transfers from internet to shaping box are rare enough for you 
not to care about them, then you can do without IMQ.

As for seperating traffic - in prerouting you should be able to mark 
traffic by source MAC address (1600) and the same in postrouting for 
destination MAC. You could then use the marks to send to different HTB 
classes that don't share.
