Hi Denis, ok ..I hadnt read your email fully sorry about that...
what are you trying to achieve here? you have a 172.16.0.249/30 address on em3 which includes 172.16.0.248-127.16.0.251 and then you have a 172.16.0.254/24 which includes the entire range of 172.16.0.0-172.16.0.255 I think you are making life tougher on your self and who ever has to diagnose the system after you... it is private IP space co can you not put them on different networks and do meat and Potatoes Routing ? the other thing you need to consider is that you need to turn on proxy arp (which can be very counter productive and cause other issues ) so that your host responds to arp requests for 172.16.0.249 and 172.16.0.250 on em3 (assuming you want hosts on the network attached to em3 to be able to talk the ips connected to em4) the other concern I would have is that you are trying to route traffic to an ip that is a reserved ip 172.16.0.248 is the network address of em4 according to your configuration... I hope this helps...
