Because if it's the latter, I don't think that's true at all... OTOH > if it's the former, please stick to the topic; I'm confused enough already! Sorry, the former. I wasn't really following the original thread, but I spotted that comment and thought it was worth pointing out the technique for configuring iptables that is "a la mode de Red Hat". On rereading, I interpret Kenneth's suggestion for the permanent solution as adding an initscript for traffic shaping that uses the iptables one as a model.
