tmcguiness is correct. A gateway is just a catch-all for routes not specified. There should be only one. Much like the highlander.
First regarding gateways and static routs:
1. Gateway is an essential part of any route.
2. The amount of gateways is not limited.
3. For internal access, in case u have only 1 subnet - you don't need a gateway, since you are in the same subnet.
4. "Default Gateway" says go through me in case u didn't find any appropriate route in a routing table. But you can have more tha 1 default gateway, since you have another parameter called "metric" which can be assigned to a default gateway or a static route: The machine will try to use gateways in the table according to the metric: 1 first, 2 second, etc.
5.NOTE: u can also use metric for regular static routes.
I think accoring to the question, you'll need only 1 default route - the one that will help u access the Inet.
For internal, no need - or just define a static route. (Don't forget to add "-p" to make it persistent).
