Exact, this is true.
The two rules have the same behavior...

With the tcrules and only the second line (nat) it works ok

Yes, this is the really question.

Just a proposal:

you have no USER/GROUP column in the masq file but it can be a good
solution to have the possiblity to write in the SOURCE column the
USER/GROUP name. In this manner the functionality of the masq file
is the same but if the SOURCE column is not an address or an eth/tun*
it were a good solution to analyze the SOURCE like so:

tcrules as seen before

normal masq

eth0            eth1             89.44.55.21
eth2            192.168.10.0/24

with user/group

eth0            USER:dansguardian,squid    89.44.55.22
eth0            GROUP:www-data       89.44.55.23
eth0            eth1                 89.44.55.21
eth2            192.168.10.0/24

What do you think about this????

Thank's for the answer.
