I pretty much have this same setup. I don't have routing enabled is all. I
configure each ethx device like they were on a single network. When your
system is up and running, check the routing table, using route. It'll tell
you which interface can reach which networks. My setup has 192.168.a.b/24 on
eth0, 192.168.c.d/24 on eth1 and I can ping hosts on both networks.

There's always a possibility I don't understand your question! :)

Thanks!
