Good call Tom. I didn't even think about that little (major) detail. Hmmmm... Eth0 is going to be connected to the cable modem via dhcpcd. Eth1 is going to be connected to the internal lan via static address of 192.168.1.1. I'm using Shorewall firewall right now and eth0 is masq'ed out through ppp0...let me see....Hmmmmmm.....Well I just looked at /etc/conf.d/net and eth0, which is (now) 192.168.1.1/24 doesn't have the Gateway set. So I don't see needing to do anything with the type of setup that I'm running when the time comes to install the other nic. All that I will be doing is adding and extra entry to the above file leaving the Gateway unset like it is now and I should be good to go. Thanks for pointing that out though.
