Linux Multihomed Router -- 10.0.0.25/8 (eth0) ------------------10.0.0.1 (host)

192.168.10.49 (host)
The linux is running Centos 4.2. I have 3 ethernet cards, eth1
(davicom Semiconductor, Inc 21x4x DEC -Tulip Compatible), eth0 (VIA
Technologies, Ic VT6105 Rhine III)
Eth2 (intel Corporation 82547Gi Gigabit Ethernet Controller)
I don't have any rules of iptables applied to the kernel.
the content of sysctl.conf is below:
# Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux
#
# For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. See sysctl(8) and
# sysctl.conf(5) for more details.
# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
# Controls source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 0
# Do not accept source routing
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
# Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename.
# Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications.
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
The problem is that forwarding is enabled but when I try to probe
connectivity from a host in the 10.0.0.0 net , eg 10.0.0.1 making an
echo request
to a host in 192.168.10.0 net , eg 192.168.10.49 the icmp packets
arrive to the linux box (interface eth0) but don't traverset it.
After I iniate an echo request from 192.168.10.49 to 10.0.0.1, the
packets iniatated in 10.0.0.0 net starts to traverse the router
magically.
It seems that It needs a packet from the 192.168.10.0 to start working.
I would appreciate any idea.
Thanks in advance.
