Did I miss a setting? A kernel compile option? Or is there a problem with arp_filter in 2.4.*? I hope I'm missing something obvious here ;).
The reason (as I know it) that this is happening is the way that Linux (for sure) and most unicies in general (as far as I know) will receive the traffic that comes in to the NICs on what ever physical NIC that it may be connected to. The problem is the reply. Unix will by default choose the first route that it has available to a subnet as it's route out to the world. If you updated your routing table and put eth2, eth1, and then eth0 all the traffic would go out eth2. In short the solution that Joe gave you is probably one that will work. I would possibly end up looking at setting up specific routing tables for each NIC which would have different routes, namely source IPs and interfaces, to the network. But the solution that Joe came up with will work just as well. I'm not familiar enough to know which one is better though.
