They're all on one ethernet segment, and just different IPs?

What does "192.168.1.0/24   ---> 210.32.131.166" mean?

Bad!

Can your linux box ping each sun box?

Let us see the output of some commands.  Install the iproute (so you can run
"ip" as root) package, and give use the output of:

ip route
ip rule
ip address

Send the output of whatever SUN uses to give IP addresses, Routes, etc too.

It looks like you didn't change the default route to one of the IPs on the
linux box on the SUNs.
