There are things called shared meters - though I think that name is a 
bit misleading as to their usefullness.

You can use them to make policers from different matches behave as one, 
so it is possible to do as you want - it won't be a fair share though.

The iptables issue is because the place policers hook changed - on 2.4s 
and if you config your kernel the right way (don't select packet action, 
and then select the old/depreciated policer) it will see packets after 
iptables prerouting, the default on 2.6s is to hook before netfilter.
