Sure it is possible. At the first it is not true that only leaves can
have filters. The opposite it true - only leaves can't have filters.
Filter can be attached to root (qdisc itself) or inner class.
So that you can for example attach fwmark filter without any rules
to the root of HTB.
Then you can control assigning of IP->class in iptables.
You will end up with one inner class for each group of ip and each
"restricted" ip will have then leaf under the inner class. Like:
ROOT 256k
CLASS1(192.168.1.x) 128k
CLASS11(192.168.1.2) 10k
CLASS19(others 192.168.1.x) 118k
CLASS2(192.168.2.x) 128k
CLASS21(192.168.2.2) 10k
CLASS22(192.168.2.3) 10k
CLASS29(others 192.168.2.x) 108k
You probably caught it.
