It's possible that your routes are timing out if you have routed or
gated running. Disabling it in the appropriate rc would do the trick.
I don't feel particularly competent to comment on having two Class C's
on the same Ethernet segment, but it doesn't sound right. Why not set
up one of the boxes with two Ethernet cards and IP_FORWARDING enabled?
