I think you left a most important thing out.

do a 

man interfaces

This describes what to put in the file /etc/network/interfaces - which 
basically how to tell a debian system which interfaces to bring up during 
boot and how to treat them.  Specifically, on the non gateway machines you 
can specify the ip address of the gateway which then tells it how to route

on to the internet.  No need for route add etc
