Hello all, I came across the following problem: The linux box has two IP's, say x.x.x.15 (eth0 - admin interface) and x.x.x.19 (eth1 - traffic interface). It's a full C class network. Those IP's reside each on their own respective NIC's (eepro100's). The idea is that most of the traffic would come from the other NIC connected to a HA/load balancing-switch, and the other would be dedicated to maintenance and administration traffic only (no HA).

The problem: traffic to/from x.x.x.0/24 doesn't work; there are no replies for pings in either direction or anything. Outbound/Inbound traffic from outside x.x.x.0/24 works fine. I heard this topology 'two NIC's in the same subnet' might cause some problems, so I thought about asking for help here. Is there something wrong/non-working with this, or _should_ it work ?
