Brian, I don't see anything here that looks wrong at all. I assume
you have some sort of NAT software handling traffic between the two
interfaces, but I wouldn't normally expect that to cause problems if
the external interface is down.
I honestly can't imaging what could be causing the problems you
describe. Hopefully, someone else will be able to look at this
and come up with something, but I'm stumped.
If you turn rawhide off (shut it down) can BSD1 ping BSD2?
Is the switch "managed"? If so, make sure it's not blocking any
sort of broadcast traffic or the like. Some of those (especially
older) managed switches can cause the strangest problems if they're
configured wrong.

Let me try again, here is my situation and question with a little more
detail.
My local network (192.168.1.0) consists of two machine BSD1 (192.168.1.40)
and
BSD2 (192.168.1.42). Both of these machines use the subnet mask
255.255.255.0
and gateway 192.168.1.254.
There is a third machine GATEWAY (192.168.1.254, ip address from isp) has
two
nics and acts as the router.
All of these machine are connected to a switch locally.
When my internet connection goes down for whatever reason I
loose connections in my local network. For example, i can't ping
192.168.1.40
from 192.168.1.42. is there any explaination for this?
Not that I can think of. There's no reason I can imagine that your local
connectivity should suffer from Internet problems. Especially if you're
connecting via IP address (which rules out DNS problems).
Could you provide 'netstat -rn' and 'ifconfig' output from GATEWAY, please.
I don't see anything in the other information you provided that would
indicate any sort of misconfig on BSD2.
