You did not mention:

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth[012]/forwarding

It is set to 1 also.  The only difference I have with your settings above is
rp_filter.  I'll change it to 0 and see what happens.  Since the settings were
reverted back and I don't have access to it right now, I cannot dump the routing
table.  But it was verified to be correct and consistant with the above
settings.

Thank you,
