you basically want to use the 'ip route' command, and setup 2 routing tables.

yup, you setup the two tables, one has GW_1 and one has GW_2, and direct traffic into 
the tables based on it's address.
take a look through the mailling list archives and doco on the web for examples.
it's not too hard.
