Important is the patch level numbering. So 2.4.22-1.2115 is initial FC1
kernel, .2188 is latest bugfixing kernel.

That was now explained several times here on the list. See
http://www.zeroconf.org/ and the list's archive. It has nothing to do
with IPv6. How to deactivate it please consult the lists's archive.

Well, the default route is still on the eth0 device.

I would imagine if you run "ping -I eth1 $target" it will result in ping
replies?

Check

http://lartc.org/

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/

for advanced routing howtos. You will have to use advanced features to
handle both different uplinks / class C nets.

Btw. how did you set up those 508 IPs for this server? Do you use
aliased ethernet devices or the more modern setup way using iproute
(command ip)?
