[LARTC] Limit Rates in more scalable and efficient way

[Salatiel Filho]

Sometime ago i had written a bash script that read from a file
containing the list of ips and built all the needed classes.
unfortunately i do not have it anymore [hd crash and no backup :/] ,
but at least you know it can be relatively easy to automate this task.
