 First: if u want to apply aan queue or pipe, for many IP's, u can use option mask
 in pipe or queue. U can get examples about that in dummynet
 documentation.
 For bridge, try to use "bridge" option in ipfw rules, to match packtets
 that are bridged.
 If u want to pass packetes across multiple pipe or queue, then need
 to set net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0
 For clients that have public IP's, natd have an option to not
 translate this adresses.
 Recomandation:
 Begin with very simple rules, without any pipe or queue, only count
 option, and see what is happening. Then grow complexity, in this mode
 u can find where u wrong.
