I'm using dummpnet+pf (not ipfw) on (roughly) FreeBSD 7.2 quite
extensively for traffic shaping.  I have about 20 pipes varying from
600kbps to 100Mbps all with ~9msec delay.  There's a background load
of at least 10Mbps with peaks to several times that (and several 2Mbps
pipes are virtually permanently saturated).  The system has nearly 80
VLANs and uses CARP and lagg/LACP (1 bge and 1 em NIC) for redundancy.
The system has an uptime of several months.

I haven't responded before because I can't offer any solutions.  All
I can say is that I've been successfully using dummynet with ipfw or
pf for about a decade without any stability issues.
