I sent that directly, no need to bother debian-devell with long
traceroutes. In short:

Reachable.

ICMP Host not reachable from fngw-T3-prolog.NEREP.NET.
And all three have working PTR records, i.e. DNS _does_ work.
Telnet to the modem IP works fine:
-------------------
[ kai@muenster ] ~ $ telnet 204.186.27.145
Trying 204.186.27.145...
Connected to 204.186.27.145.
Escape character is '^]'.
Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 srv1.jdweb.com
srv1 login:

That claim is complete nonsense, of course; and the router is most
definitely misconfigured.

Under the circumstances, that's what I'd expect.

Try the following. Do a tcpdump on your modem interface (tcpdump -i ppp0).
See if packets from the srv2 actually pass over that interface.
If yes, you just suffer from the ISP's routing problems.
If no, you also have a local problem. Next, do the tcpdump on eth0 to see
if the packets make it to srv1. If yes, the problem is routing on srv1; if
not, it's routing on srv2 (probably a missing route for default to srv1).

Can do, if you want me to. In that case, drop me a line.
