Re: [squid-users] Is it possible to mark tcp_outgoing_mark (server side) with SAME MARK as incoming packet (client side)?

Ok I read further on that link itself, somewhere it says:

disable-preserve-miss
        This option disables the preservation of the TOS or netfilter
        mark. By default, the existing TOS or netfilter mark value of
        the response coming from the remote server will be retained
        and masked with miss-mark.
        NOTE: in the case of a netfilter mark, the mark must be set on
        the connection (using the CONNMARK target) not on the packet
        (MARK target).

First, it says to use CONNMARK and not MARK. I tried with CONNMARK as
well but it did not work.

Second, it says its for response coming from the remote server.

My question however was to pass on mark from client side to server side.
i.e. reverse of what above paragraph says.
(But your earlier reply said client to server - so there is confusion)

Any idea?
