If you run "netstat -nr", then you will see which route gives you the
access to the 193.200.100.X/24 net.

And it's a device, not a gateway, it's eth0, so when you send a packet to
eth1 (193.200.100.21), and the kernel "answer" your packet, it will use
the route that let's it "reach" the 193.200.100.X/24 net, so it will use
eth0.

When I have to assign two or more addresses to one linux box, I use
aliasing, so the same net will ever use the same eth dev.
