The default makes sense for the most common cases. Take a look at netstat, ifconfig, and route
You will need to manually set your routes and make choices. You can only have one practical default path. You will need to set the routes manually or in a script specifying what IPs the second gateway is to be used for. The default is always the route to 0.0.0.0, but you can easily say to use the second for 10.0.0.0 for example, and hundreds of other addresses. If both are actually on the net you can even try to figure out which provides the shortest path to various locations with traceroute. The command 'netstat -nr' or 'route' will give you an idea. You will need to look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts as well. I have a RaQ550 so a few things might be in different locations.
