I've added the following options to my kernel:

options         IPDIVERT
options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=5000
options         DUMMYNET
options         HZ=1000

Read /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES for full descriptions of the options.

"options DUMMYNET" allows you to use pipes and queues to shape the traffic.  I 
shape the traffic so the people using our public access points don't use too 
much of our bandwidth.  There is also a section of ipfw man page devoted to 
traffic shapeing and dummynet.

Good luck

Scott
