trust me, I'm the same way.  I still can't get my fingers to type dig
instead of nslookup.

I see what you are saying.  So, I wonder if using GATEWAYDEV=eth0 buys
me anything when tearing down eth1.

In the past I have had a server with two nics (different subnets) and
split traffic between both.  Each had a different default gw though. 
This example is more insteresting because the default gw are the same.

Thanks,
