You need to mark packets when they're coming in on the inside, with a
different mark for different computers. Ipchains offers support for this.
This mark will survive the routing, and then you make a filter with 'tc' on
this mark.

The HOWTO mentions how to do this with 'iptables', but the ipchains commands
are not that different.
