I'm probably not getting the question right,
and I'm probably trying answer the wrong issue,
but what subnet is the "local" client on?

If the local client is in the 192.168.100/24
range, what route gets the client to the 100.168.100/24
subnet?

Also 100.168.100.50 falls into that iana blackhole,
seems an odd choice.
