Hi,
	Is there any specific order in which match will take place ?

	Ex:- lets say I have a following rules.

	1.) iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -m state --state NEW -m mark
--mark 1 -j ACCEPT
	2.) iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -m mark --mark 1 -m state
--state NEW -j ACCEPT

	When packet traverse first rule, does state match comes before mark
match ?
	When packet traverse second rule, does mark match comes before state
match ?


Rgds,
