MediaProxy does insert contrack rules to direct the traffic, as you 
know, and the fact that you are altering the routing with iptables may 
have serious implications on what happens from that point on. MediaProxy 
told the kernel to redirect packets coming from 10.0.0.2 and port X to 
10.0.0.3 port Y, but you introduced another routing rule I don't expect 
packets to 'fork'.
