Do I need to have 2 gateways?

[multiband8303]

here's the situation for a client of mine...

I got a patch panel that goes is all hooked up to these lanes.....which then goes to the switch...

for my internet they have a DSL modem....hooked up to the eth0 interface on my sonicwall

but for Credit Card Processing - they have a seperate "satetllite" connection that is hooked up to one of the nics on the server

so NIC 1's gateway = he inside of the router (sonicwall)
and Nic 2's gateway = the connection to the "satellite"

From what I understand this is how it is setup - I go there tommorow. Not understanding how this could work - but does this seem plausible? And is there a way I can simplify it, basically I want to have the internet connection - satellite connection - and my local LAN all concurrent.

You can't have two default gateways...doesn't work.

What you need to do is remove the gateway on the NIC that goes to the satellite, then manually enter routes on the server for the hosts it needs to communicate with. Make sure you make them "persistent" routes so they stay in the table when it's booted. The command is "route" and has multiple options.
