Looking further... why is your telnet trying 10.2.56.102 when you clearly specified 10.8.11.102? Also, what happens if you do a specific route for the 10.8.11.0/24 block thru the appropriate gw without relying on the default gw to route for you? In this way you dont end up in a situation where the client is mistakenly trying to go over the wrong interface. The telnet maybe switching to an alternate interface to see if it gets thru? Mohan
