And: you have one subnet 10.0.0.0/20, with another connected network 10.0.1.0/24 (ie a subnet of the original network)??? This is going be difficult to sort out. Hosts in Subnet Y are going to expect 10.0.1.0/24 addresses to be local, not via a router - the Firewall you've shown is going to have to do a lot of nasty proxy-arp'ing for this setup to work. > My Subnet(10.0.1.0/24) > > (eth1)-10.0.1.1(default route for My Subnet) > Firewall/Router(SNAT) > (eth0)-some real ip address > > Internet (My ISP). I recommend you start with two non-overlapping subnets. If you cannot do that, you have some significant routing challenges to solve, before you get anywhere near setting up netfilter to block some of the otherwise routed packets.
