Hi All,

I have a machine with several IP aliases to a single
interface. I want to limit each IP to say 100 kbits
in/out.

Do I need to create seperate pipes for each IP and
then create the normal ipfw rules?

Or will one pipe of a limit of 100 kbit and linking
the other IPFW rules to it be enough?

My concern is that when the limit for one IP is
reached
I do not want to to affect the other IPs.

I think (am pretty sure) i need seperate pipes and
rules.. Then if so is there any ill effect for
creating
many pipes? One of my machines has over 100 IPs here.

Thanks in advance for any help offered. Please reply
to me directly aswell since i'm not on the list(s).

Thank You,

Holt
