This has probably been asked before, but I don't remember seeing it. Is
there a way to give certain IPs from outside the LAN, "full" bandwidth
allocation?

I have the following simple setup at home (note: All LAN IPs are
192.168.0.*):

-------
|modem|
-------
  |
  |
------------
|m0n0 (.10)|
------------
  |    \
  |     \
  |      \
------  ------
| .6 |  | .8 |
------  ------

I used the traffic shaping wizard and set it to deprioritize all p2p
traffic. After that set of rules (i.e., near the bottom of the list), I
set it up so that connections on ports 22 and 80 in either direction
should have full access to the entire upload and download pipes
(700kbps/2500kbps). However I'm still getting a a very slow connection
between IPs at my school and within my LAN when bittorrent (something in
the most_hated_upload queue) is uploading at full speed. More
specifically, both 192.168.0.8 and 129.97.1.1 are running ssh servers and
connections between the two in either direction are very slow. When I
limit upload rate at the bittorrent client, my speeds increase to what
they should be.

I guess there are two questions:

1. When I setup the traffic shaping, do the high priority connections need
to be listed at the top or does it matter?
2. Is there a way I can make connections from my university (129.97.*.*;
or any other class for that matter) have priority to servers in my LAN
(and vice versa)?
