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.

Never mind...
