Hi Matt, There may be other options, but we settled on Cisco 3350 switches for this. Their rate-limiting is much more granular than most others we looked at (most would only limit to 1Mbps per port, not below), however they are both pricey (~$3500) for 48 10/100 Mbps ports and 2 Gbps ports. You can save some money with less port density, though.
3350s can also be stacked and managed as one unit, creating VLANs that span multiple switches, with a slight upgrade to the IOS.

It might even be nice to do this on a per-IP basis instead of a per-port basis, though that's not absolutely necessary. Since this is a Web hosting segment and our bandwidth is naturally limited going out, and very little intra-DMZ traffic exists, something that is 10/100 is all that is necessary.
