I wrote some more information about ceil and rate.  You can find it on the faq 
page on www.docum.org under "Basic rules for traffic shaping with HTB".  If 
you have more questions, let me know and I will try to answer them.
Remember, htb will work if you don't follow this rule.  But it will be less 
obviuos to figure out how the bandwidth will be distributed.
