I'd like to route web traffic through the wlan0 interface and the rest through eth1. Can you please help me with the iptables commands to achieve this. Below is my configuration. Thank you :)

Edit: This is about desktop configuration not a web server set up. Basically I want to use one of my connections to browse the web and the other one for everything else.

ifconfig:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1d:09:59:80:70  
          inet addr:192.168.2.164  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21d:9ff:fe59:8070/64 Scope:Link

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1c:bf:90:8a:6d  
          inet addr:192.168.1.70  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21c:bfff:fe90:8a6d/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:77 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:14256 (14.2 KB)  TX bytes:14764 (14.7 KB)
