No, your problem was completely different.

WRONG!  People please stop this misinformation already.

Bas's problem can be solved by him giving a "preferred source"
to each of his IPV4 routes and setting the "arpfilter" sysctl

This particular case has been discussed to death in the past
and I really recommend people read up there before dragging this
out further.
