On the same box? Are they using the same routing table? I am fairly
confident that will end up in a fight.

Which prefixes, and who/what originates them?

Are you maybe causing a routing loop towards yourself?

You are aware that Linux is mostly meant as an end-user/server system,
not as a routing platform? There are a LOT of scalability problems in
the routing code as it was not designed for large scalability...

Providing outputs/log files would be a good start for people to look at it.
