Ah, I didn't think about doing it in the daemon... That would
definitely be easiest, I think I'll do it this way! :)

Now I'm curious... Everything I've seen points to using tc to be able
to rate-limit in kbps... The only rate-limiting I know you can do in
iptables by itself is packets-per-timeframe (second, minute etc)
limiting?
