Chances are, you do not need a gateway on the local NIC at all. You definitly do not want the default route to point to the local network. Posting the output of "route -n", /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 would help in solving the problem. You may also have some other network configuration issues that need to be addressed. When the network configuration is set up properly, this is not an issue. If you had 2 connections to the Internet, or if you are accessing more then one network through the local NIC, then it would be more complicated.
