But none of the destinations have a gateway address.
So all of the traffic is trying to go from every interface to the default gateway.
Do both interfaces go out the same router?
As an example in my system, I have a local interface and a wan interface. Only 
the wan interface needs to use the default route, as it is the only interface 
that talks to the outside world. But my internal interface has routes to other 
private networks through IPSec tunnels on other routers.

So the internal interface has multiple routes and each has a gateway address 
of the router that handles that route.

Are your network-a and network-b addresses actually public addresses or 
rfc-1918 private addresses?

It took me a while to get mine right, so don't feel bad.
