Hey Bjørn,

the traffic isn't send by a different subnet ...

eth1 = 192.168.0.100 ( default route via 192.168.0.150 )

eth2 = 192.168.0.200

both interfaces belonging to the same net (255.255.255.0) ...

eth2 is not configurated with an default route. could this be the failure? 
(i don't think so because the route for the default gateway was set for eth1 only by /etc/conf.d/net)

output of route table:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use  Iface

192.168.0.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0    U     0      0        0  eth1

192.168.0.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0    U     0      0        0  eth2

127.0.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0        U     0      0        0  lo

0.0.0.0        192.168.0.150  0.0.0.0           UG    0      0        0  eth1

i hope that could bring some light on this situation ...


greetings
Jan
