In addition to what David wrote, you might want specify 'src' option on
certain routes, and/or specify scopes by hand.

For example if the lan host in question has something like:

ip add add 192.168.10.2/24 broad + dev eth0 scope link ip add add
1.2.115.157/32 dev eth0 scope global ip ro add unicast default via
192.168.10.1 dev eth0 src 1.2.115.157

Then the 'src' will prefer public ip for non-lan communication (even
without scopes).

Make sure, when you (likely) do snat with iptables on the router, to
skip this address in such case (in case of not using notrack).

BTW, scopes can help with masquerade target on router (not important in
your case as you have static addresses, but still), as it will choose
candidates with global scope.
