tunneling and iptables

Hello,

i was stuck with the interaction of iptables and tunneling ...if i have an ip-ip tunnel, are the ip hooks checked for both the outer and the inner ip header ?

Also, the mark extension allows you to mark packets with 16-bits marks which is big enough to encode the port number, but if i try to add policy routing on the fly using the ip rules command then i get screwed because the table-id (for specifying which table has the rules to route this packet) is only 8-bits and so, I cannot encode the port numbers in there ... i know this is not a clear description but if you know anything about this problem, i would be more than happy to spell the details out...

Thanks,

Hitesh
