[elrepo] Route problem with dual interface in elrepo kernel

Hi Maurits,

Thanks a lot for your reply. But your solution did not work for me. Still i
am getting the same issue.

I suspect this is not specific ICMP. Any request coming to eth1 IP, is
going out through default gateway configured in eth0. But it is expected to
pass through.

Also i did not check the el6 kernel in my setup.

Thanks,
Prem.
