I did something a while back to solve a similar problem that involved 
specifying the gateways for each interface in their respective config files.  
However, this was SuSE 9.0, I don't know if it is true for SuSE8.2.  Anyway, 
the files were :

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifconfig-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifconfig-eth1

Check the man pages for route and ifconfig.

Hope that helps and good luck.
