Hello lartc, I have a linux bridge between my mail server and the cisco router (internet).. The linux bridge can shape the inconmig mail ? ( mail server run windows2000) or outgoing www traffic? I read some howto's but only talk about linux router (not bridge). Diagram: [Mail Server1] ---\ [www Server2] --- [Bridge Linux] --- [Cisco router] [xxx Server3] ---/ Best regards, fabian mailto:fabian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
