So it seems strange why the client connects to that address -
seems to be the wrong one. Are you sure that there is really no
routing for the client via eth2? Did you verified with tcpdump or
similar tools?

There are situations, where rp_filter does not work. You can turn
it off. SuSEfirwall2 turns it on, but you can change that.
Somewhere there should be an echo "1" > ..../rp_filter, try to
change the 1 to 0 like echo "0" > .../rp_filter and restart
SuSEfirwall2.

Sorry, I cannot help much with SuSEfirwall2, maybe there is a
better way to do that - but should solve you problem for the time
you're looking for best solution :-)

oki,

Steffen
