This is the first post ever on the LARTC list, so this does not amaze me :-)

Well, you can't shape incoming traffic directly. You can shape traffic going
out to www_server_[123].

Perhaps this interferes with Linux traffic shaping, not sure. Does your
loadbalancer have multiple ethernet cards? If so, you could shape the
'backend card' to limit itself to 200kbit.

Did you enable 'shaping based on fwmark' when compiling the kernel?

Here you match outgoing traffic on eth0 with a source of your webbrowser
client.

Please give some details on your network cards, and include where
192.168.10.15 is in this picture, and which card it is connected to, and
which card the webservers are connected to.
