Are these the actual IP addresses that you need?  They are quite
different from the ones in your original post (your first message used
120.207.7.245 and 120.207.17.22).  It's difficult to help which you keep
changing the information.

I'm not sure how Solaris handles having multiple default routes on two
different interfaces.  Perhaps it responds using the default route of
the interface on which the traffic came in on, or at least based on the
source IP address.

Even so, it should be possible to get the same behavior from Linux,
however, we need good information.  Ideally please post the ifcfg-eth*
files as well as any route-eth* files
from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.  Also, the output
of /etc/sysconfig/network might be interesting.  And finally your
current "netstat -rn" output from the system with which you actually
need help.

Later,
Tom
