Apparently I was missing some kernel modules that were causing wondershaper to behave oddly. I rebuilt the kernel with all QOS and netfilter configuration options enabled (or built as modules) and now internal clients can download HTTP at full speed. I suspect there was some option that was causing tc to not distinguish between interfaces despite the fact that wondershaper instructed it to only throttle the external interface. I'm not sure exactly which kernel setting fixed it, but it is now fixed. -- Adam Rosi-Kessel http://adam.rosi-kessel.org
