Hotspot, P2P marking, and P2P limiting

We've just switched a large group of users over to hotspot, and the P2P limiting no longer works properly. The P2P traffic limiting was working fine with the old setup (just DHCP & routed addresses), with P2P traffic being flow-marked and limited in the queue trees. Now that Hotspot is being used, the P2P queue tree is not seeing any traffic, even though the mangle rule to mark P2P traffic sees traffic at about the correct rate.

I forgot to mention - we're also marking HTTP traffic, and P2P-IN traffic, both of which are working properly. It's just marking outbound P2P traffic that doesn't seem to be working.

It is impossible mark packets twice. The most effective way to authenticate using Hotspot and also shaping traffic is to use two separate MTs - one for the authentication and the other one as a bridge to shape the traffic.
