I believe you can do that with the nth patch:
http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.9
Even though I wrote the original patch, it's been greatly improved by Richard Wagner
<rwagner AT cloudnet.com> who added support for multiple counters and support for
matching on individual packets. [That's why I say "I believe" the match can do it].
It should work. Let us know of the outcome.
Have a nice day,
Fabrice.
