Thanks! to all who replied.
I solved it by putting identical "GATEWAY=" clauses in each of
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1
This works without error, even though the gateway IP address in question is not accessible from eth1.
I haven't tried taking the GATEWAY clause(s) out of the ifcfg files and moving it to the /etc/sysconfig/network file alone. Does anybody know if that's the preferred configuration option?
It doesn't matter as long as there is only one. You could just remove the GATEWAY line from ifcfg-eth1 and only specify it in ifcfg-eth0 since that is the only one that will work anyway. The only reason to specify a GATEWAY on other interfaces would be if you sometimes have one active and sometimes another and each network has a router that will work as a default.
