You having two different gateways.
You could associate a cost to each route.
This will essentially make one less desirable than the other.
Make a routing rule that will use one route for a set of ip addresses
and the other for all other addreses(default).
There must be a rule you can write that logically defines how you make
the decision to use or the other.
Just a thought,
Rich
