Re: 2 gateway problem

It is a bit hard to say without specific information about your network.
But here is a general answer to a general question.

Assume that you have two gateways, one to the Internet and one to a
corporate LAN. For Internet access, you must set the Internet gateway as the
default gateway, because you cannot know what IP address on the Internet you
want to access.

For corporate access you do not need to use default routing because you
know exactly what IP addresses your corporate machines use. You can add a
static route to direct traffic for your corporate LAN to a different
gateway. You can add this route to each client machine, or you can simply
add it to the gateway router to redirect this traffic to the other router.
