Ok, so it is the first step to get at least 1 IP from each net working
in parallel. Understand that not. Just wanted to be sure.

No, that is not strange. That is how the network scripts work. You
defined the GATEWAY each in the ifcfg-ethX configurations files. As your
setup is no typical one you will have to do some more handwork. At least
delete the GATEWAY entries and make use of static routes. Create

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0

with following content

12.168.88.12/24 via 12.168.88.254

and

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1

204.117.218.12/24 via 204.117.218.254
