I'm confusing things here, but not on purpose.  I mean that I have
assigned a gateway to both eth0 and eth1 in this way:

These files are on machine6 in diagram below:
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
  USERCTL='no'
  NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
  BOOTPROTO='none'
  HWADDR='00:03:47:fa:4b:13'
  DEVICE='eth0'
  IPADDR='192.168.0.7'
  GATEWAY='192.168.0.1'
  TYPE='Ethernet'
  ONBOOT='yes'
  NETWORK='192.168.0.0'
  BROADCAST='192.168.0.255'

cat /etc/sysconfig-networkscripts/ifcfg-eth1:
  USERCTL='no'
  NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
  BOOTPROTO='none'
  HWADDR='00:04:75:9b:e5:0d'
  DEVICE='eth1'
  IPADDR='192.168.1.5'
  GATEWAY='192.168.1.1'
  TYPE='Ethernet'
  ONBOOT='yes'
  NETWORK='192.168.1.0'
  BROADCAST='192.168.1.255'

Without that second one (192.168.1.1) a machine 192.168.1.6 was
unable to ping 192.168.0.1 (the firewall) and ssh connections between
192.168.0 and 192.168.1 took several minutes find a route

There was no particular good reason for the setup below but this is
where I am running into what I described:

Calling GW1 192.168.0.1
        GW2 192.168.1.1

   eth0=> |         rh7.1 Mach5
          |          |eth1 GW2 192.168.1.1
         mach6       |             
   eth1=> |          |   
   ----------------------------
   |      |          |        |
  m1     m2          m3       m4    
    192.168.0.7
       rh 7.3

Where machine 5 is gatewayed to the router 192.168.0.1
And m1 m2 m3 m4 are gatewayed to Mach5 (eth1)

Machine 6 is a sort of hybrid that has a connection to both 192.168.0
and 192.168.1.  That is the machine with two designated gateways
Yet a netstat -nr on mach 6 shows only:
