How to route 2 interface

[VeNoMiS]

Hi guys,
this is my scenario:

I have a suse with 2 eth interface both connected :
eth0 is configured with public ip

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1E:0B:48:7E:D2
          inet addr:87.*.*.*  Bcast:87.*.*.*  Mask:255.255.255.240

and eth1 with internal ip

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1E:0B:48:7E:DA
          inet addr:172.16.1.9  Bcast:172.16.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0

my route table

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
87.*.*.*    *               255.255.255.240 U     0      0        0 eth0
172.16.0.0      *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth1
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         87.*.*.*    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

what i need is the posibility to access the local network,
using

route add -net 172.16.0.0 gw 172.16.1.3

i can't ping any host of the lan

anyone have a hint?

tnx a lot
(and sorry for my poor english)

Adding route for internal network as below:

# route add -net 172.16.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 172.16.1.3

solved using

route add default gw 87.*.*.* eth1
route add default gw 172.16.1.3 eth0
