i have a client that i have just build 2 pfsense 1.2-RELEASE's for (one 
outside of san antonio, and one at their main office in here in dallas).  so 
far, its working great.  they wanted to be able for their guy in SA to use 
his IP phone to hit their PBX in dallas, and with the 2 pfsense's, it worked 
like a champ on the first try.

the boss liked it so much, today he mentioned that it will be sooner than 
later that they need another one in(around) sanantonio, and then one more in 
LA.  so where theres smoke.. theres fire... and this is leading straight to a 
QoS type setup, as the whole reason these are existing is to get those voip 
phones onto the internal LAN.

so, ive never set up a traffic queue before.  can anyone give some tips for 
generating a setup thats good for IP phones/voip (obviously, im talking about 
giving the voip traffic priority over plain internet traffic).  tips or 
stories of caveats to watch out for, would be greatly appreciated, or 
anything i can use to begin my learning of how the queueing works.

cheers,
