   possible ?   
      
   The reason why nodes on the 10.0.0.0/8 net can't reach 10.127.255.253/9,   
   is that you've told them that they belong to the same network as the   
   address they're trying to reach. Hence they won't try to reach the   
   address through a router, but rather by broadcasting an arp request.   
      
   Your network is incorrectly designed, as you have the same network on   
   both sides of a router. As you yourself pointed out, 10.0.0.0/9 is a   
   subnet of 10.0.0.0/8. Your setup cannot possibly work (and shouldn't).
