I'm sorry but this is my first time to see this kind of notation(
*.*.*.196 ) 
in the routing table. What actual network or subnet address does
*.*.*.196
have? If these addresses are on the same network or subnet, i think you
don't need
*.*.*.192. So you better remove them out unless it is dynamically
discovered(RIP).
Same also with the IP address configured for each interface.

ARP packets are sent broadcast on the network or subnet. If you have
multiple interfaces attached
on the same network(why?), then they would receive the same ARP packet.
In this case it doesn't matter
which of the interfaces the ARP packet arrived. When the linux-box
receives an ARP request packet, it
simply look the hardware address of the IP address in the ARP packet in
its arp-table. If a hardware
address is found, the linux-box sends back an ARP reply containing the
harware address of the requested
IP address, otherwise is does nothing. I may suggest you configure your
interfaces specifying the 
complete IP address (e.g. ifconfig eth0 172.28.52.111 255.255.255.0 gw
172.28.52.91), otherwise i don't
have a clue.


Hope this help.

bunal!
