John,
You have both eth0 and eth1 on the same network. 
  1.2.3.171 and 1.2.3.172  (problem)
  1.2.3.171 and 1.2.4.172  (works)
I think there is a problem with doing that, unless you do some other
configuration.
I don't remember the config required.
Normally the ethernet ports should operate on independent networks.
It seems as though if they operate on the same network, there is
trouble.
As I believe they will only use one of the ports, not both.
