I assume gwA and gwB can ping each other on the internal interface, at
least.

Okay, should work. I assume you've set gwA as default gateway?

Are you certain that gwA->sis0 should have that netmask? If it is indeed

Nothing definitive, but (unless the above solves it) I'd like to see the
routing tables. I'm not entirely certain where the default route goes,
in particular.
