Shipping query: variation on case C

I need a similar shipping scheme to case C on the shipping help page (http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.shipping.htm)

CASE C: Say you want to charge $5 for upto 10 units of your products, so if someone orders between 1-10 units, they get charged $5 and if they order between 11 - 20 units, they get charged $10 and so on.

However, I need to be able to charge one rate for domestic and another for international.
So, up to 3 units get charged 2 euro delivery domestically, but 4 euro delivery internationally?

Is this possible?

In that case, you would go into Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings, set your Domestic rate as 1.00 and your Int'l rate as 2.00, then set the Weight (rather than Cost) of your chosen container type as 2.00 and Submit to save changes. Then just configure your product with Shipping enabled, a product Weight of 0.00, packaged in that same container type you'd configured in Cart Shipping Settings, with a packing capacity of 3.

Thanks a million for explaining the steps involved Tyson. Great that this is possible.
Even though I did maths in college, I'm a bit headwrecked by e-junkie shipping permutations! :)

I'll agree, it can get a bit confounding sometimes. I'm planning to rewrite the Shipping help page around the basic formula we follow when calculating shipping charges:

(rate X (total product wt. + container wts.)) + (container costs) + (handling cost)

Note that you can "game" the formula by applying non-literal figures for various settings, so the formula adds up the way you want. Not shown in the formula for simplicity's sake: the quantity ordered would of course affect the (total product wt.), and packing capacity would determine how many containers are counted to affect (container wts.) and (container costs).
