Thanks Shaun - not heard of that one before. Here is the result :-

sempron:/home/rogerg # ping -I eth0:1 192.168.0.7
PING 192.168.0.7 (192.168.0.7) from 192.168.0.10 eth0:1: 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=10 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.0.10 icmp_seq=10 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.0.10 icmp_seq=11 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.0.10 icmp_seq=12 Destination Host Unreachable

I can still see the router :-
