What would cause a ping request to return a different address as shown

Many years ago I had this happen ... I *THINK* it was due to the fact that I had multiple default routes on my system.

Basically, if I pinged my server from outside my internal network, the ping went TO 69.3.23.26 (my SDSL IP) but came back from my AT&T ADSL IP.
