The current ALTQ classifer doesn't handle NATed packets very well.
And I'm not too enthusuastic to support NAT as an advocate of IPv6
(and NAT-free network).

Having said that, you can use the diffserv mechanisms; traffic
conditioners on the incoming interface to mark the TOS field and
a queueing discipline on the outgoing interface.

Also, OpenBSD-3.3 will have ALTQ merged into pf, which is able to
handle NATed packets much better.
