Currently, I am not running iproute2 or doing any shaping (just lurking to pick up information until I have a chance to recompile my kernel and give it a go) I'm using ipchains and ipmasqadm The machine is also running bind (to provide a local caching name server for my DNS requests) and xntp (to provide time synchronization). Approximately 10 computers/workstations are connected on my local network and I have no services open to external connection other than incoming mail (port 25 which is forwarded to an internal mail server).
