At a closer look, this seems a bit fishy:

Do you really mean both eth0 and eth1 to be on the same network:
192.168.1.0/24 (192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0)
In that case, eth0 isn't :(
I suggest you put the 2 ifaces on different networks, if possible.

No prob. You've done most of the job anyway. I've just been guessing ;-)
