I suspect you cannot change the behavior of layer 2 discovery
protocols by configuring a certain layer 3 parameter (a route +
"src").

Also from an ARP perspective, this is imho correct behavior, because
10.0.0.2 should learn "sender hardware address" and "sender protocol
address" from the ARP _request_ and add them to its own ARP table -
without an additional ARP request. 10.0.0.2 is connected to eth1, so
only mac and ip address of eth1 counts in this case (= 192.168.1.1).
