If you run:
find /proc -name \*redirect\*
then you will come up with a swag of switches that can control redirects
in Linux.
I'm not to certain which one you want but you might try:
echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/send_redirects
or you could add:
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
into /etc/sysctl.conf
