No matter how you set up the routing, the OS sees eth0 as the default
interface.  If you want to specify that another interface is used to
send/receive the ICMP packets then try the "-I int" option:

'ping -I eth1 caladan'		#from araakas

You could have both interfaces plugged in and enabled.  But, as long
as eth1 is (pluggedin and enabled) this should work.
