I haven't had to deal with relaying traffic between interfaces (yet). The 
thought that occurs to me is that you would need to have rules to allow 
eth1 to accept the incoming traffic from the remote user. A forwarding rule 
to reroute the external traffic to your internal LAN on eth0, and finally, 
a rule on eth0 to allow traffic coming from interface eth1 which contains 
an origin address of the external user. It looks like you have the first 
two parts. You may just be missing the last step.
