Multihomed proxy serving 2 wireless networks

I have 2 separate instances of the Satellite providers required
software(proxy client) running on the FC2 box. 1 is assigned to the
192.168.1.0/24 and the other to the  192.168.100.0/24 network. DHCP is
assigning the correct gateways and the clients can communicate without
going thru the proxy. The problem is exactly as you stated- I need the FC2
box to route requests from 192.168.1.0/24 thru eth0 and requests from
192.168.100.0/24 thru eth1 exclusively. This will separate the 2 networks
to be independent of each other.
If I setup a route for 1 interface the other will not communicate and vice
versa. Is there any way to allow each network to communicate via their
respective interface without interacting with the other interface.

Thanks
