Well, some people say this behaviour is correct wrt the rfc. I wont go into
that discussion.
After searching for a long time, I found this way to solve the problem:
1) make sure there are no wrong ARP replies:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$DEVICE/arp_filter
2) make sure the packets are sent from the correct interface:
Turn advanced routing on in the kernel.
CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y
For every REAL interface (not alias), try:
(the variables should be clear, add entries to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables for
every device, to make configuration easier to read)
ip route add ${NET} dev ${DEVICE} scope link table ${DEVICE}
ip route add default via ${GATEWAY} dev ${DEVICE} table ${DEVICE}
ip rule add from ${ADDR} table ${DEVICE}
For every ALIAS do
ip rule add from ${IP} table ${TABLE}
This setup means that every packet is routed based on the source address.
I've used it for some time now, and it works just fine.
I hope this helps.

P.S. Maybe this could be documented in the LARTC.
