Hm, this is what I would do, I'd change it to read as so:
auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
    address 10.40.35.35
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 10.40.35.0
    broadcast 10.40.35.255
    gateway 10.40.35.1
dns-nameservers 10.40.35.1


You only need one stanza for your interface and there you have two, which 
may be causing some issues, I'm not sure, but just to be safe.. I'd just 
leave it to one. After that run /etc/init.d/networking and see if you can 
ping properly.  If not send the outpout of  'ifconfig -a' and netstat -rn

hth,
Jeff
