Well, the gateway is ARPing for x.158 because it thinks it's on the same
network, which it isn't. Three suggestions :
1) reconfigure the gateway with a static route to x.158 through x.147.
2) configure ethernet bridging on x.147 through to x.158.
3) use a different subnet for the x.158 box. Of course this will require the
gateway to be reconfigured as well. Depending on what the x.158 machine needs
to do, it might be easier to give it a private IP address and NAT it through
the x.147 machine instead.
