i did. with the interface. but that apparently doesn't matter.
a few tests with route get were enough to realize that the B network is 
not really having it's own default route.
so i just switched the cards around. now en0 is the external ip and en1 
is the 192.168.x.x.  and the default route is the one for the B network... 
it works a desired now....

thanks for the idea....
