How do I set up 2 NICs in Ubuntu? One NIC is not responding

So I have two routers plugged into my ubuntu server (2 NICs)

eth0: 192.168.0.10 <--- my internal network
eth1: 192.168.1.10 <--- to external network

The internal network is functioning correctly (can still connect, IP is actually being set, etc...). I am unable to connect to the server through eth1 (and I need to be able to through HTTP, SSH, etc...)

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces :
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.252
Any ideas? I read on other forums I shouldn't specify a gateway for eth1 since it will confuse the OS. And here is my route -n:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.8 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Here is my ifconfig -a:
