Two Network Cards Problem

Dear Managers,

I have one Alpha Server DS10 running Tru64 Unix 5.1 and acting as web
server. starting, it has one network card in one subnet that receives
the incoming data from the net and forwards it to the firewall. I have
added another network card with a different IP in the same subnet for
other testing purpose that also receives data from outside and forwards
it to the firewall. After finishing my tests, I tried to block the IP of
the new card from the firewall to free the logs, but when I did this I
found that my web access is down. After checking the logs, I found that
the server receives the life data from the first network card but sends
it to the firewall through the second card (with blocked IP), so the
data can't reach the destination.

Do anyone knows why the server is performing this way? and how can I
force it to send the life data through the first network card without
removing or disabling the second card?

Thank you.
