Ok, so if I understand you correctly, you have NFS running and you want
SMTP on a different interface so that NFS doesn't kill SMTP.  Do you
*REALLY* want NFS on the publicly routed interface?  Why don't you put NFS
on eth1, not have a default route, and then put SMTP on eth0 with a default
route.  SMTP will route over eth0,  unless it's going to machines in your
NFS network.

Thanks,
Sean
