[wellylug] multiple gateways

[Nigel Roberts]

You can only have one default gateway. If you know the source
addresses for all traffic coming in one of the interfaces, you can set
up a bunch of static routes (route add <network> <netmask> <gateway>).

Other than that, this indicates a pretty broken network set up and I
suggest you fix it before you try any nasty hacks :)
