I do have another gateway at 10.0.254.1, it is a Linksys router that all the provate stuff plugs into, and that Linksys plugs directly into our modem.
multiple gateways is problematic. there should be only one default route to 0.0.0.0/0
Seconded -- multiple default gateways are definitely problematic.
You could set a metric on the second interface (eth1) prior to upping it so that the primary has priority. This doesn't completely remedy problematic situations though. Example: if eth0 is downed at the switch, but not downed on the host ... so the host will continue to try and use eth0. A situation in which serial remote management or physical vga/ip kvm access is helpful. ;)
Add "METRIC=30" to your ifcfg-eth1 file.
so you have a pfSense firewall AND a linksys soho router both connected to the internet? sounds messy.
