For the linux box to do the shaping, all the traffic must go in to, and out of its 
interfaces.
There's a small chance you might be able to get away with using a single network card 
and aliased interfaces in the linux machine, but this would make traffic shaping much 
more difficult than it needs to be (and probably slower too).
