CBQ doesn't know what an eth0:110 is, it only knows that you have eth0, and that addresses have been assigned to it. Try running "ip addr show dev eth0", and you'll see 192.168.10.17 with eth0, and not with eth0:110. You can either mark packets leaving your host with the destination of your magic ip addresses, and you'll limit them all together to 200kbit, or you can try to make more classes, one for each backend server, and select on the basis of the real mac address.
