So, to be clear: you're logged in on this machine, you type 'ping
192.168.1.1', and nothing happens? Is the physical infrastructure
working? (Are all the cables connected, do you have the right blinky
lights everywhere?) If that all works, what do 'ifconfig eth0' and
'route -n' say?

"Gateway" isn't something you want to define on more than one
interface; if you do define it, if needs to be an address on the same
network (so, in this case, a 10.x.x.x address). How exactly are you
specifying "gateway" and "DNS" here?
It looks like the setup you want is:
-- eth0 is on 192.168.1.43/24
-- eth1 is on 10.0.0.1/8
-- The default route is via 192.168.1.1 (on eth0)
-- The DNS server is 192.168.1.43, which happens to be on eth0's
network
-- (Optional) ipmasq from eth1 to eth0
And none of the settings you've given so far contradict this. :-)
