First of all, upgrade your kernel. The network (and especially the shaping
part of it) is updated a lot in the 2.4.x kernels.
Or was it a typo and are you running 2.4.20 ?
Web-server can be matched based on ports.
Or you can mark the LAN packets entering your box and use that mark after the
natting to shape the traffic.
