Solaris 8 ditto.
IMHO this is definitely a linux bug, since the kernel can not now about
the true network topology: Cable sharing might just be used for this one
system doing the routing/filtering/whatever between the two networks,
while all the other hosts are in seperated switch segments. Not a common
setup but you will see this often enough: head count is already 2... ;-)
