So why exactly are you setting a 172.30.0.3 host address with a /16 mask
and then trying to tell it that the rest of the 172.30.0.0/16 network is
on the other side of a router?

Still, even though I would question your network setup, you should be
able to do what get the configuration you want whith the following:

For eth0 make sure there is a GATEWAY line that is set to the system
default gateway 196.x.x.1.

For eth1 make sure there is no GATEWAY line at all in the ifcfg-eth1
file. Then, create a route-eth1 with the following:

GATEWAY0=172.30.0.1
NETMASK0=255.255.0.0
ADDRESS0=172.30.0.0

Later,
Tom
