I would rather send packets from the P2 subnet addresses to the P2
router, while the packets from the P1 subnet addresses keep going to
the P1 router.

Apparently I can do this with some IPFW cunning, but that seems like
overkill for what seems like it ought to be a common problem.


This is indeed a common problem, a question such as this gets asked every month or so on at least one the lists I am subscribed to. In fact we do something along these lines at each of our offices to provide fault tolerant VPN connections to our data center and other offices.

However FreeBSD's routing table does not currently support policy routing without some help from the firewall. The only way to achieve your goal is to use one of the firewalls (pf/ipfw/ipf) to do the policy routing for you.

The suggestions that you have received already seem to be exactly what you are looking for.
