These two routes don't make sence, somewhere you are still setting up the
class C network. I can't see where it breaks things, but if you are now using
a class B network, find and remove the first of these routes.

I have a machine which with IP aliasing is in 3 different networks (class B,C
and D/subnetted), and the linux routing is able to sort it all out, your
setup should work.
