maybe knowing more about your network would help .. what ips, how are the
systems connected, where should your system route the traffic etc... if you
ping the ip on eth0, only eth0 should receive it (unless you put your
network card into promiscuous mode i guess) and if eth0 is on the same
subnet as the pinging system is, only eth0 should respond, so there might be
something wrong with the network you have?

I currently have three interfaces installed on my Suse 7.1 PPC system.
eth0 eth1 eth2
I am using iptables v1.2
(...)
When I ping the IP address that should belong to a particular interface, the route of access appears to randomly select any one of the interfaces instead of only the corresponding one.
pinging ip address x.x.x.1 should correspond to input to interface eth0, however at random eth0, eth1, or eth2 ends up being used.
the echo for the ping regardless of the input interface always outputs from interface eth0. (I am not sure if that is ping default or not) (...)
