The same thing happens with these two FQDNs if I try them from here. They
may be set not to respond to ping traffic. Try different addresses (try mine
-- comarre.com = 63.198.182.124 -- if you like; it should respond to
standard pings).

You provided a lot of detail, in which I spot only one problem, the same one
you spotted:

I don't know how to interpret this dual address for the eth0 interface, but
if it really means that the kernel thinks eth0 has two different IP
addresses, I bet it is the source of the problem (combined with a
routing-table problem).

I'm not a Red Hat specialist (I use Debian and LEAF), but I'd suggest using
the "ifconfig" command to bring this eth0 interface down, then restart it
with just the one, correct address. Then use the "route" command to do any
needed tidying up to the routing table. Then see if it will ping. If it
will, fix whatever init scripts you have that start up networking on this host.

If that is not the source of the problem, then everything else looks OK ...
assuming you are trying the ping to address 192.168.10.254, not some
hostname that resolves to it. If the failure does happen when you ping by
hostname, the box might be telling you it can't find a route to its
nameserver (whatever that is -- does the RH box run named or use resolvers
listed in /etc/resolv.conf ?).
