It won't be a problem if you are dropping them.  It's just that your 
firewall will generate extra packets (those redirects).  The remote host 
can opt to ignore them (as well as there's option to disable sending 
redirects, there's option to disable accepting them).

Anyhow, if eth0 and eth1 are on the same wire, you are probably seeing 
some martians in your internal firewall logs anyhow.  So you should be 
used to having extra stuff in logs anyhow ;-)
