Doesn't EVERY incoming packet go through PREROUTING?? And hence,

your statement is true for -t mangle PREROUTING, -t nat is not traversed
by every packet, no.
Whoa! I didn't know that there is a PREROUTING for //both//
mangle and nat tables!!!
So mangle PREROUTING for all packets and net PREROUTING only for
NEW state packets. Beautiful!!! Now I get it!!!
Thanks again for the help!
