Traffic Shaping with HTB for VPN's

Traffic Shaping with HTB for VPN's

[StarQuake]

Hi,

I have the following network config:



                     LAN A

                    Firewall
                       |
                       |
                   VPN router
                       |
                       |  (1500kb/s)
                       |
               /--------------\
               |              |
               |   Internet   |
               |              |
               \--------------/
  LAN B      /                  \       LAN C
           / (512kb/s)            \  (512kb/s)
         /                          \
     VPN router                   VPN router
      /                                \
    /                                    \
Firewall                              Firewall



1. LAN B and LAN C are browsing the internet using a proxy with 
content-filtering in LAN A
2. LAN B and LAN C connect to a Win2k server using RDP in LAN A

The traffic shaping in LAN A to the internet works perfectly. 
Downloading something and using RDP or telnet to internet works perfectly.

My question is, Can I start shaping traffic with HTB for LAN B and LAN C 
using the firewall on LAN A. Since everything going to internet passes 
the firewall on LAN A.

Right now it doesn't work right because I set the ceiling value to 1500 
which only applies to LAN A's internet connection.

I hope someone understands me and can help me :P
