I was trying to setup some policy routing (using iptables fwmark) for local traffic; i've just in place rules for forward traffic (in PREROUTING chain, mangle table) and works as expected. EG: ulysses:~# ip rule show 0: from all lookup local 32762: from all fwmark 0x30/0xf0 lookup FIBRA 32763: from 192.168.178.2 lookup FIBRA 32764: from all fwmark 0x20/0xf0 lookup ADSL2 32765: from 194.243.231.54 lookup ADSL2 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default and ulysses:~# iptables -t mangle -vnL PREROUTING Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 278K packets, 175M bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 MARK tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 173.194.79.109 multiport dports 25,465,587,993,995 mark match 0x0/0xf0 MARK xset 0x20/0xf0 0 0 MARK tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 173.194.79.108 multiport dports 25,465,587,993,995 mark match 0x0/0xf0 MARK xset 0x20/0xf0 1488 311K MARK tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 173.194.76.109 multiport dports 25,465,587,993,995 mark match 0x0/0xf0 MARK xset 0x20/0xf0 143 99494 MARK tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 173.194.76.108 multiport dports 25,465,587,993,995 mark match 0x0/0xf0 MARK xset 0x20/0xf0 [...] I've tried to setup the same thing for local generated traffic but... i've discovered that the 'routing decision' happen BEFORE iptables tables (so, simply, fwmarks get ignored). It is true or i'm missing something? Thanks. -- dott.
