I find obscuration particularly with zeros a mind game because that 
first one is a network address and it adds needless confusion but set 
that aside...

 From the routing table it's clear that your /24 is on the same ethernet 
segment and if it is, which should be apparent from a traceroute, it is 
already doing direct routing and you don't need to do anything. If you 
traceroute from one server to the other one it will in the most common 
scenario indicate if they're routing without touching your colo.
