Every time I reboot my ubuntu server that acts as my network gateway/router (two physical NICS), it waits the full extra 60 seconds to load network details. This suggests there is a configuration issue of my network. However, after booting, it seems to have loaded up correctly as the config specified. Here is my /etc/network/interfaces config:

# 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

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 10.0.0.1
    netmask 255.0.0.0
    network 10.0.0.0
    broadcast 10.255.255.255
    gateway 192.168.1.6

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.1.6
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.1.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    gateway 192.168.1.1

The eth1 interface of address 192.168.1.6 address is the ip for the outside office lan for which I am forwarding packets to/from with my other machines. The eth0 interface is my private subnet that all my machines are set up on (there is no dhcp server on this subnet, I don't know if that matters.)
