G'day David,
Destination host unreachable suggests either incorrect netmask, a route
missing on the XS, causing it to use another interface it has, or a
reply from the gateway over ICMP refusing to forward the packets.
Based on the data you sent, I think the network mask is the cause,
especially given that you had incomplete ARP. You wrote:

The NETMASK should be 255.255.255.248 according to a calculator ...
$ ipcalc 202.0.158.96/29
Address: 202.0.158.96 11001010.00000000.10011110.01100 000
Netmask: 255.255.255.248 = 29 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111 000
Wildcard: 0.0.0.7 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000 111
=>
Network: 202.0.158.96/29 11001010.00000000.10011110.01100 000
HostMin: 202.0.158.97 11001010.00000000.10011110.01100 001
HostMax: 202.0.158.102 11001010.00000000.10011110.01100 110
Broadcast: 202.0.158.103 11001010.00000000.10011110.01100 111
Hosts/Net: 6 Class C
Try changing that and taking the interface down and up,
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
Or to temporarily test on the active system ...
ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.248
