You could do natd it or use a bridged firewall so to everyone else it would appear that the Windows box is on the net. The other nice thing about the bridge is that you can set it up so that it doesn't have an IP address at all... which makes it pretty hard to break into :) Sometimes that can get

you might try mod_throttle http://modules.apache.org/search?id=123 as for dummynet, read the ipfw man page. I think it's a two part process.. first passing things off to a pipe and then defining the pipe. So in the first part you'd specify the port. Never used it though so I could be wrong.
