redirect rule question

redirect rule question

[Srinivas Murthy]

Hi Guys,

 I need to write a redirect rule that does the following:

 If there is a mark set on an skb, (for any src or dst ip or port
no's), redirect to the port no equal to the mark.

 Please ignore the job of actually setting the mark on the skb is set
in kernel space by other means.

 Can you please give me an idea on how to add this rule?

Thanks.

I'm not aware of any thing in IPTables that will act like a variable 
that can be set to the value of the mark and then later use the contents 
of the variable as the source for a redirect.

I'm afraid that you will need a multiple rules to match the multiple marks.
