well, I did numerous times in the past. th emisunderstanding most of you have is that queue assignment and th actual queueing are sepearate things. you assign a queue with the name X somewhere, be it by a rule in the inbound path or the outbound, or a state in either direction, and when we hit the enqueuing on the outbound interface we check wether the packet in question is tagged to be put in a specific queue. if so, and a queue by the desired name exists on the given interface, we do so, otherwise it goes to the default queue.
