Well iptables does NOT accept --tos with anything other than the 5 standard 
values.  --dscp does.

I was asking more for input on wether it seemed useful.  Since I got no
reply, I didn't think much about it for a while.  It seemed useful to
me given --tos doesn't do what I thought it would based on the shorewall
documentation.

Well what version of iptables do you use because mine certainly does not
accept arbitrary tos values (it does in the tcclasses but not tcrules).
