[dundee] iptables and fair network usage

[Nistur]

Well, it seems, looking at our router that we hadn't got that far last 
year, we probably gave up!
I'm just finishing off the tutorial on the Gentoo wiki and re-emerging 
iptables, however this seems to be reinstalling 45 different packages.

We have a 200MHz box as the router and that, linked with the slow 
downloads we're still getting will probably mean that it'll be tomorrow 
morning before we can configure it properly. Dontcha just love 
non-binary distros? :(

Hmmm, it's reinstalling ncurses now... how perculiar.

Thanks for the links, I'll do some reading while it's busy
