Hmm, I know I have done something like this before (I made all port 80
traffic return through another host rather than the default gateway, but
it was about 3 years ago and I don't remember the exact syntax).

Does your logs show both mark 1 and 2 being used?

Are you sure that the syntax for the ip route rules is right?  I don't
remember if it was fwmark or something else.  I also remember I was
using a mark of 30000ish not, 1 or 2.  No idea if low numbers are
reserved or any such thing.
