(I'm using fake address for the email - 192.168.1 was subbed for JPL IP's)
First machine:
eth0 has 192.168.1.213 (name is box1)
eth1 has 192.168.1.192 (name is box1-gw)
Route table:

On another box the same setup / different IP's.
eth0 has 192.168.1.192 (name is box2)
eth1 has 192.168.1.104 (name is box2-gw)

One each box the eth0 nics are on the internet. The eth1 nics are plugged into a switch they share that is "private".
The problem is when a box on the internet pings or tries to connect to an IP that is supposed to be on the "private" side (eth1) I get responses from the eth0.
Also, the idea was if one of these boxes desired to communicate with each other they would communicate over the private network. We configure NFS and other services to use the -gw name.
On box1:
ping box2-gw
the ping goes out thru eth0 and is accepted by box2's eth0 instead of going over the private network.
Apparently on this setup (so I'm told by the Senior Sun/Solaris admin) Solaris will not accept packets from one nic that is the ip of another.
Is there any idea's you all have? (I'd like to just use a different subnet for the private side, but the subnet decision wasn't technical - it was political... long story).
