The obfusication is making it harder for my brain to deal with than it should 
be.  At any rate, em3 isn't going to work properly without a route-to rule to 
get it to answer back to pings out the proper gateway.  I'm not entirely sure 
why you can't ping the ip on em2, could you provide the output of tcpdump -i 
em2 while you ping it?

Also, what did you do with em1? :)
