iptables question (was Re: Squid question)

a linux server has 3 interfaces:
lo, localhost
eth0, root of the intranet
eth1, talking to the internet

if I fire lynx at the linux server, which interface will lynx use?

right now, my transparent proxy at eth0 properly for the intranet,
except when running lynx at the server. hmmm... you meant there was a
rule that matched before the transparent proxy rule?

Merry X'mas.
