Server 2003 packets through different network interface

All,

I saw some strange behavior on my Windows Server 2003. My configuration is
as follows:

Windows server 2003.
Dual Intel Gige NIC controller (Both are teamed (LACP 802.3ad) together)
I have created 3 Virtual Interface (VLANs) on the network controller.
VLAN 1, ID 1 IP address=10.1.70.39
VLAN 2, ID 2 IP address=10.1.70.38
VLAN 3, ID 3 IP address=169.254.255.255
All are on the same subnet. 255:255:255:0

I want all my data to go through VLAN 1, so i have updated the Route table.
In the route table i have two entries

Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface
Metric
10.1.70.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.70.39
10.1.70.39 1
10.1.70.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.70.38
10.1.70.38 10

As i have lowered the METRIC of the first route, Windows server 2003 will
use that interface to route all the packets and that interface is for VLAN
1.

Everything works fine. But when i ran Ethereal on VLAN 1, i saw some packets
with With
Source IP = 10.1.70.38... Though this interface has IP address 10.1.70.39..
but packets originating from Server 2003 with Src IP 10.1.70.38 on
10.1.70.39 interface?

So i am not sure how Windows can transfer packets on VLAN 1 (10.1.70.39)
with Source IP address of VLAN 2 (10.1.70.38)?

Route is calculated on the Destination Address and route selected by Windows
is correct. It shall route all the packets using 10.1.70.39 route. But
inside the packets it had 10.1.70.38 as source address.

If Application is binding to 10.1.70.38, then why i am seeing these packets
on this isnterface? They should be routed through 10.1.70.38 (VLAN 2) route.

So i am not sure what is happening here? any help will be appreciated.

Does applications cache the Bind IP address, but i guess its beyond
Applications control and even if they bind they shall go through 10.1.70.38
interface
Thanks Rajesh

VLAN 1 & 2 are the same network (10.1.70.0/24), that's a problem. What does
your switch think vlan 1 & 2 are?

Thanks a lot for your reply
My switch is configured to understand VLAN 1 and VLAN 2, they route all the
packets perfectly. Switch accept tagged packets and route all the packet
correctly. So i have created two different VLANs using the switch. They are
different networks.

But this is on the host.. why windows will route the packets through
10.1.70.39 interface with source IP 10.1.70.39?

Thanks
