  ip route add 10.0.0.100/32 dev eth0
                                 ^^^^ of course; sorry.

  ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via 217.155.117.166 dev ipsec0
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ of course...


Now as I look at it it seems strange.  You have 2 routes thru the same
IP but different devices, which doesn't make much sense:

| 10.1.1.0        217.155.117.166 255.255.255.0   UG    [...] ipsec0
| 0.0.0.0         217.155.117.166 0.0.0.0         UG    [...] eth1
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                             ^^^^^^

Can You ping addresses outside the 10.0.0.0/8 range?

HTH.
