This is bizarre. Why are both cables going to the same switch?
Can you get another switch and create two "proper" sub-nets, one
for the 10.x segment and one for the 192.x segment? Then make sure
routing on the host is set up properly so that replies get routed
to the right interface?

An explicit dump would be interesting, and in particular to see if an
ICMP request comes in the 192 interface and the reply goes out the 10.x
interface.

I'm not an expert, but what you are doing here seems prone to problems
at best, and flat out wrong at worst.
