Per interface you can define three firewall instances: "IN", "OUT" and "LOCAL". So packets entering("IN" instance) or destined to Vyatta itself("LOCAL")are not bothered by your "OUT" firewall instance "wan2lan" on eth0. For eth1 you need to set another firewall instance as "OUT" or IN" or whatever you need.
