Local traffic *is* run through netfilter.
I just checked this out:
root server: 192.168.0.1
vserver: 192.168.0.2
iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.0.2 -d 192.168.0.1 -j DROP
-> ssh from vserver to root server doesn't work
iptables -F
--> ssh from vserver to root server works
(Assuming netfilter default policies are ACCEPT)
