The routing table.
Question: Why are you using two nics on the same network? You can
generate some very odd network problems doing that. Routing loops can get
created that will send packets around and around your network until they
expire from ttl.
Not the same network but...
That's what I thought, but after doing some research it seems you can
even have two default routes or multiple default routes.
