Try using Shaper if you intend to do any sort of bandwidth allocation or limiting. Haven't personally implemented it yet, but the general idea is to:
- install shaper
- configure your limits/allocations
- replace references of your int. interface with shp0 in your iptables routing script

Since you are using a 2.4 kernel I would suggest using the kernels net schedualing functionality. This works like shaper but you don't have to use the shaper pseudo devices and control can be more granular. All that needs to be installed is the iproute2 package. In general you would use the tc command to setup the queues, etc. Here is a HOWTO,

. Most useful would be chapters 9 and 14.

Hope thtah helps.
