LARTC - Apr 2004 - second routing decision--when?

Hi,

I''d like to mark locally generated packets in the OUTPUT chain and do
policy based routing (selecting one of two default gateways) based on
the mark value.

But when the packet hits the OUTPUT chain (in ''mangle'' table),
the
routing decision seems to be already made.  AFAIK, locally generated
packets do not pass the PREROUTING chain (so trying to mark them there
wouldn''t help me either).

Any ideas?

Sorry, haven''t found this in the archive. :-)

Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately, not that easy.

Look at ipt_ROUTE (from netfilter) to do it.
