For the linux box to do the shaping, all the traffic must go in to, and out of its interfaces.Is that really the only way it can be done? I would really like to be able to do this without putting the Linux machine between the network and my ADSL Router.
There's a small chance you might be able to get away with using a single network card and aliased interfaces in the linux machine, but this would make traffic shaping much more difficult than it needs to be (and probably slower too).
