Is eth0 the proper interface to > restore the iptables setting or is eth1? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ThinClientHowtoNAT What it actually says is: "add the extra line 'up iptables-restore < /etc/ltsp/nat' to the bottom of the eth0 (or whichever is your LTSP interface) stanza of /etc/network/interfaces " so it does say that you should put it against the interface which LTSP runs on. > If it matters then I am confused.

I must say I didn't ever check if the order was important but imagined it likely would be (hence the statement). If you try to load a bunch of iptables rules which relate to interfaces which are not yet up you may find those rules fail to load. I'm not sure, but it sounds plausible.
