it is possible but you need to modify the routing table. this may help.
quoted from http://howtonetworking.com/routing.htm
One router goes to the corporation email server and another one goes to the
Internet

Symptoms: you have one router connecting to the corporation for email and
the Internet access. However, the corporate Proxy server filters web sites
and watches you access. Then, you add another router for the Internet access
and want to use the corporate router for the email only, but the traffic
always go to the corporation router.

Resolution: You need to modify the routing table. Make all traffic go to the
Internet and point the email server to the corporation ip range.
