I have this in my iptables script:

> iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9090 -j MARK 
> --set-mark 2
> iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9090 -j RETURN

as 2 tor has a high priority,now is on 5 .
An another question is :if  i announce port 110  and redirect traffic to 
9090 which port shall i consider as priority in the above iptables  ?

Silly question isn't ?
