If you are configuring default gateways on each interface, you are
probably doing something wrong.

The only reason why you would want to do that is to balance your
outgoing traffic between the two NICs, and this is better accomplished
with bonding interfaces.

I fail to see why SELinux would make any difference on that. Can you
describe your issue better? What is the configuration you tried to set
up, and why didn't it work? What version of CentOS are you using, 4 or
5? What is in /var/log/messages and /var/log/audit/audit.log when you
try to bring the interface up?
