Assuming this, how can I couple an acl with tcp_outgoing_address?
I've seen the acl name myip, but AFAIK this refers to the ip defined by

Still, the issue remains when having to control 2 different classes of
traffic going out the same isp.

acl name_x tos tos_value

Going to get the source right now.

Thank you.
