There can only be one "default gateway", all the others should be kept in a routing table. How can windows now which default gateway is the right one?

Only one of the 4 is giving me problems, and that one has two NICs. The problem is anything beyond the local net (class c) on NIC1 occasionally loses total contact. Machines on the local net of NIC1 continue to respond. The machines on NIC2 all respond. I was able to catch it in stupid mode today. The result of dumping the arp cache and the routes revealed that 1) The arp entry for the default router for NIC1 was missing. 2) The default gateway that was assigned for NIC2 was shown for NIC1. As a side bar, NIC2 is assigned 4 addresses in 4 different subnets with 4 different default gateways. The routes for this NIC are static. The problem usually corrects itself (it took 7 minutes today). Anyone else seen this type of "fun"? Didn't find anything on Microsoft's site and Google didn't get me the answer either.
