Thomas, I would like this to load balance all traffic going out of the local machine (which is gateway for the home LAN), including locally-generated packets. I was under the impression that PREROUTING happens before everything else and affects all packets, both locally-generated ones and forwarded ones. My conntrack tables show that locally-generated packets are getting the fwmark. Could you explain why PREROUTING isn't the right place for the marking rules? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
