So it sounds like the two interfaces don't connect to separate networks, just different subnets on the same network. This is a pretty different scenario than I think any of us imagined, or at least than I imagined.

If this is true, then the difference in behaviour can be explained by the way Solaris and Linux treat IP addresses. In Solaris, they are associated with interfaces; in Linux, they are associated with the system as a whole - this is a long known difference. Look-up 'arp_filter' and the following arp_* keywords in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.18/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
to learn how to control it.
