with the help of routing tables ...

ip route add <NET1> dev <DEV1> table <name1>
...
ip route add default via 192.168.0.254 dev eth1 table <name1>
ip rule add from <storm> table <name1>

should do the trick ...
I have posted an example for separated routing/
gateways on the list some time ago, you should find
it in the archives ...
