IPSEC VPN - not all workstations can ping all IPs across VPN

Hardware Version : Not Clear

I have a strange problem with my VPN setup. I have a single ER-6120 with multiple VPNs using ER-6020s, all of which are connected and working just fine...but I've found a problem where one of my servers can't always be pinged from one for the remote networks. The server is Hyper-V VM running Server 2012 R2 and its setup with two NICs both on separate physical adapters but on the same subnet with different IPs. IP#1 192.168.50.12 and IP#2 192.168.50.14 which can always be pinged locally, but on the remote network some machines can ping both while others can only ping one of them.
LOCAL SUBNET <--ER-6020---------IPSEC------------ER-6120---> REMOTE NETWORK
192.168.50.x <--ER-6020---------IPSEC------------ER-6120---> 192.168.60.x
SERVER Workstation #1 - Can ping both 192.168.50.12 & .14
NIC1 - 192.168.50.12 Workstation #2 - Can ping 192.168.50.12 but can not ping 192.168.50.14
NIC2 - 192.168.50.14 Workstation #3 - Can ping 192.168.50.14 but can not ping 192.168.50.12
Both always can be ping locally
At first I had the VM using the same NIC with two IP's on a single virtual switch but have since divided them thinking it was a issue with the hyper-v virtual switch, and I've also confirmed they have different MAC address'. But the problem persists even now with two separate virtual switches on two separate physical adapters. The reason this is a problem is that industrial software running on the server requires two IPs for the workstations to connect with, so its kind of a random show stopper, on one computer it works just fine the next it doesn't because the workstation can't access both IPs...The routers all have the latest firmware and the VPN works fine otherwise. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
thanks.
Mitch.
