Now your problem is a little clearer.  You are correct that it seems to be impossible
for YaST2 to put two different gateways in the routing table.  I had the same problem.
You might try giving both nic's the gateway of 0.0.0.0.  I'll give this some thought at work
today, and play around with it.  Perhaps someone else on this list will come up with a 
solution, too.  I'll let you know if I figure something out.
