Default QoS rules direction

Hi,

this probably sounds like a noob-question, but I am doubting:
I want to limit Outlook RPC over HTTPS (Outlook Anywhere) communication. This traffic goes from somewhere on the internet to a DMZ server. This DMZ server then sends the traffic to the client on the internet.
The security rule for this is
any to DMZ-server for service https allow.
Of course this rule allows the return traffic to go to the client.
Is the same true for QoS rules?
Is a rule from any to DMZ-server for service https limit 512 kbit enough? Or should I also create a rule from DMZ-server to WAN limit 512 kbit?

I got doubts and want to be certain....the bulk of the traffic is sent as a reply to a connection initiated from the internet so I assume a QoS rule just like the security rule is sufficient?

TIA,
JD.
