You can do it, but it has to be on a different interface than the
incoming traffic.
Say incoming traffic is on eth0 (WAN) and outgoing LAN traffic is on
eth1. Then you can DSCP mark with iptables on incoming eth0, and since
the traffic is forwarded to eth1 the DSCP marking is going to be
preserved.
