You may need to learn more about how routing works. The quick hint is
'tcpdump -e -n' which will show you where packets are destined, and to which
mac address.

If the Cisco is within the same subnet as the Linux machine, and the Linux
machine knows this, it will send out an ICMP Redirect telling your customers
to go to the Cisco directly.
