Pinging IP located on another interface

Hi,

I have a rather strange IP question...

Here's my problem:

I have a Linux box (call it "turing") with 2 NICs.
One network interface (eth0) has an IP assigned, say 192.168.42.50.
The other interface (eth1) is up, but has no IP yet.

My question: is it possible to determine from another computer connected to eth1 per ICMP echo request that the IP 192.168.42.50 is already assigned to my box "turing"? IOW:

the ICMP Echo request comes from eth1
the IP asked in the request is assigned to eth0
What I'd want to achieve: turing sends ICMP reply through eth1.

I am not sure if that's make any sense, or is possible...

You may wonder why on the earth I'm trying to solve such a twisted problem... It's a epic story... But in essence that is the problem (shaved to the bone) I need to solve for some new use cases of a system with bad architecture that I can't fix because it would break compatibility with other systems Smilie

Thanks,

nos-tun

NOS-TUN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						NOS-TUN(8)

NAME

     nos-tun -- implement ``nos'' or ``ka9q'' style IP over IP tunnel

SYNOPSIS

     nos-tun -t tunnel -s source -d destination -p protocol_number [source] target

DESCRIPTION

     The nos-tun utility is used to establish an nos style tunnel, (also known as ka9q or IP-IP tunnel) using a tun(4) kernel interface.

     Tunnel is the name of the tunnel device /dev/tun0 for example.

     Source and destination are the addresses used on the tunnel device.  If you configure the tunnel against a cisco router, use a netmask of
     ``255.255.255.252'' on the cisco.	This is because the tunnel is a point-to-point interface in the FreeBSD end, a concept cisco does not
     really implement.

     Protocol number sets tunnel mode.	Original KA9Q NOS uses 94 but many people use 4 on the worldwide backbone of ampr.org.

     Target is the address of the remote tunnel device, this must match the source address set on the remote end.

EXAMPLES

     This end, a FreeBSD box on address 192.168.59.34:

	   nos-tun -t /dev/tun0 -s 192.168.61.1 -d 192.168.61.2 192.168.56.45

     Remote cisco on address 192.168.56.45:

	   interface tunnel 0
	   ip address 192.168.61.2 255.255.255.252
	   tunnel mode nos
	   tunnel destination 192.168.59.34
	   tunnel source 192.168.56.45
