No. You can only have 1 default interface. Your static routing table may have as many different networks coded, but only 1 default. Think of the routing table as a traffic intersection. There may always be many ways to get to the same place, but the road signs must be designed to point in a specific way: for instance, the intersection of the Mass. Pike and route 9 in Framingham, Ma. The signs on route 9, say to take the Mass. Pike to Boston or to New York, eventhough route 9 goes directly into Boston, and route 9 west used to be the main road to New York. In your case: eth0: is the main way to get to the Internet and to subnet 192.168.2. while eth1 is the main way to subnet 196.25.100., eventhough you can get to the Internet via eth1 also.
Thanks Jerry I will remove the one default GW, but do I leave it out or put it somewhere else, such as a normal gateway? TIA Chad
