Yes, I'm pretty sure you'll have to create a separate leaf class for each IP address. > If that is a the case, how many queues can I create?

If you've got that many queues then you'll probably need to use tc hash matching. There was a lengthy thread on the netfilter mailing list that touched on this a while ago: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter&m=129669999112670&w=2 You will probably find the replies from Marek Kierdelewicz the most useful.
