Indeed.  When using -STABLE its a good idea to set a date= field in
your supfile and always remember the last known good date so that you
can rollback to the prior known working tree date if a problem occurs.

I think you could still do it to a certain extent though. Set the
interface speed on the opt1 lower than the lan.

Or I guess in is a dsl connection. Segment the lan and put all the
public ips on it and 1 to1 nat his public block back to his router.

Maybe a little insecure but the shaper would work well.

Yep same config as discussed befor but bridge the opt with the wan and
let him put his ips on his firewall.

Then shaper the traffic on opt1 on the way out

Yes, but the shaper won't shape the way you want it to right now (nor
is it bound to the OPT interfaces yet, just LAN/WAN).  What would be
better, is to plug the router into the WAN side of dedicated shaper
box that's in bridge mode and plug the LAN side into the 10mbit
switch.  It means another box (dunno if you can bear that or not :)),
but should do exactly what you're after (of course, then mucking with
the shaper to get it to do 'the right thing').


oh, bummer.  now that you mention it, i do recall having read stuff 
about bridging and OPT.  oh well.  i'm moving in 3-4 months, so it's 
not a big deal (certainly not enough to build another box!)  thanks anyway :)
