I've done similar, and it works great. Just remember that you can't control the rate that the wireless customer sends, only how fast you send data to them. So if/when they get infected with a virus that blasts traffic out, it will render any traffic shaping at the head end worthless. If you've been doing wireless for a while, you probably already know that, though :) -- Jon Simola Systems Administrator ABC Communications
