pfsense, giving gaming the ultimate priority?

[jcmuse]

just got my pfsense router setup, went through the shaping wizard, found it to be pretty limited.

i only have a 6/.5 connection. I want to make it so gaming gets ultimate priority. i don't care if everything else slows to 56k speeds. My quakelive needs ultimate priority

whats the best way to achieve this?

It's the most detailed and customizable QoS I've run across, and I've been through a lot. There's even a pre-built one for Quake!
How many other computers are you competing against, and what other type of traffic are you competing against?

just a couple other ones but 1 seems to be enough to give me spikes. its mostly http traffic. i wouldn't care if that is crawling it just has to work. what kind of rules can i setup to achieve this? I want to do the most possible to ensure i get no spikes.. even if it is probably overkill. the default prioritization for gaming still gives me spikes when other people are browsing web.
