Patch to fix misleading information in the iptables-extensions(8) man page
The iptables-extensions(8) man page states, in the section describing the MARK
target, that marks can be used for routing based on fwmark. Then it adds: "If
you plan on doing so, note that the mark needs to be set in the PREROUTING
chain of the mangle table to affect routing."
That last statement is untrue because marks set in the OUTPUT chain of the
mangle table can also affect routing of packets based on fwmark, provided those
packets originate from a local process rather than coming from a network
interface.
Attached is a suggested patch to fix the iptables-extensions(8) man page.</pre>
