This might not be the only answer, but you could just specify GATEWAY= 192.168.65.142 in your /etc/sysconfig/network file and remove the GATEWAY definitions from all the ifcfg-eth* files. >From there, I believe that if you want to override the GATEWAY configured in /etc/sysconfig/network, you can just re-add it in the specific ifcfg-eth* file, but in your case it doesn't seem like you want/need to do that. Good luck!
