Anton, Joel -
Here's the output of ip route show cache 8.8.8.8, ip route show
match 8.8.8.8, and ip route get 8.8.8.8
...on Deviant:
[root@dvnt ~]# ip route show cache 8.8.8.8
8.8.8.8 via 192.168.72.1 dev eth0 src 192.168.72.124

[root@dvnt ~]# ip route show match 8.8.8.8

...on Norm:

You might be renaming the interfaces differently that the order that they are loaded into the kernel as. Whichever interface was loaded first will have the smaller internal number, which is the one that would get selected first.

This would be why eth0 is being hit every time. It has nothing to do with your ip rule definitions. If you wanted to prefer eth1, add a larger metric flag to the eth0 route, which will cause eth1 to be used instead. Then, only in the event that eth1 is link-down, will eth0 be used.
