WOW you want to add two device on to the same network, why ?? OK here is
why it doen't work.

You add a route to the routing table with device say eth0. Now it is
working, now U want to add one more device(eth1) with the same destination
(as the netid is same). So this new destination gets added and the old
destination (and the device  eth0) will get deleated from the table. So at
any time you have one device working(This is under assumtion that both
route add have same metric, if not always route and device with lesser
metric remain). HTH. 

If you want two device add it on to diffrent network .
