Thanks Jan. I was honestly googling that for ages :-)

Not really for discussion here, but the whole concept of having a proxy
server in combination with traffic shaping rules makes things
challenging. All my traffic shaping rules are based on source and
destination interfaces, ports, and client addresses, so once a proxy is
thrown in, that sort of information is unavailable, as all the traffic
is no longer forwarded, but instead goes to and from the local host...
