I am somewhat confuse on *how* to really use dummynet for bandwidth limitation.

Im my (mis)understanding, ipfw functions act in a 'hit and run' way, say: the first one which corresponds to 'this' packet will be the only to be followed, there are no new verification on this packet with the next rule.

dummynet needs ipfw to build a pipe.. but if this rule is hit does it means that any other will have no effect at all??

what are the correct order to run in the following situation:

ipfilter and ipnat for these things.

ipfw with dummynet for the following:

machine 192.168.1.xa and machne 192.168.1.xb will have full bandwidth while
machines in the 192.168.1.0/24 (except xa and xb) will have bandwidth limited to 8 kb/s.

I ask you to please at least clarify on how to get such thing running. Pointing me to a 'real world' user url will be great!!
