Hi, guys!

This is my very first post here... and I want it to be meaningful...
at least to myself. :)

I don't think I'm that smart to be the first to need this feature...
so I hope I'm the ONE vote that flips the balance to convince
netfilter developers that this is indeed <i>good and necessary</i>.

Why is the routing decision made before the packets hit OUTPUT? I know
that in OUTPUT it's already necessary to know what network interface
the packet will go through but then is it wrong to do policy routing
on output traffic? I don't think so.

Maybe a new chain could be used to do some PREROUTING actions (like
marking) before the routing decision is made for output traffic.

What do you think?
