machine 1 to server eth5 ping6 is success full
eth5 to server machine eth5 ping6 is success full
eth5 to eth7 ping6 is success full

The route is always added to the source machine , as an information that which interface the packet should follow in case of particular destination address.

So add the route in machine 1 .You can also check in server interface eth5 that packets destined for eth7 are reaching there using tcpdump.

Hope this helps !!
