I believe that is correct, if your client IP's are static that would be a great 
workaround.

I am by no means an expert when it comes to TC and linux, I just know this 
works for us.

Thanks. I take it that only the marked packets hit the tc filter, and
that for a server-side version the mark would be set in the INPUT chain.
Wouldn't it then be possible to use both the client IP/port and the
bacula server IP/port to set the mark so that only the client's Bacula
traffic is throttled and everything else is not? That way, the iptables
rules could be made permanent and the before and after scripts unnecessary.
