Hi Dave
I agree with everything you say !!!!!!!
I am just not convinced that a GATEWAY statement in
ifcfg-eth1
is necessary to achieve the required route table.

I vaguely remember that, at some point, not specifying a gateway didn't
work. This memory could be from as far back as Red Hat 5 (@1998) so
it's entirely possible that things have changed since then. It could be
that the network setup logic has gotten smarter and recognizes that a
default gateway is already defined or the specified gateway is local.
Also, the suggested solution of using a GATEWAY directive in
/etc/sysconfig/network may now be the preferred solution for this type
of setup.
Unfortunately, testing to see what happens knocks me off the air. If I
get a chance, I'll try removing the GATEWAY setting from ifcfg-eth1 and
bounce the network.
Cheers,
Dave
