Have I found a bug? Done something stupid?
You have two NICs configured in the same subnet. If you intend to make two subnets for the Green and Red NICs, make sure the subnet addresses doesn't overlap.
In production they are _very_ different subnets. The LAN is 192.168.1.* while the internet address is 66.92.74.188/24. I am just trying to test it all with both cables going to things that I control.
If you want them to be in the same subnet (why?)
As I said, just for testing. Would it help to test with address 192.168.2.1/24 (note 2 in second to low order byte). I've never tried to use such an address, and I am not sure how to configure the other machines to use it without trying to route through gateway to the internet.
then the behavior you see is normal for Weak Host Model systems:
Thank you for that link. I added it to the web page and will continue to update as I learn more.
You can reconfigure your system for Strong Host Model and/or use multiple routing tables and source rules to control which NIC is used for which traffic:
