One of the issues here might be which route is better than the other for a particular destination. There is only one gateway of last resort in the routing table, although there may be more than one candidate default. If this router is on a stub network, then it might be better to do: ip route 0.

Hello John, Here is my opinion. Temporarily, take the software or the workstation to the same subnet of the Server and see if it runs OK. While it is there, you can capture a few packets to see the conversations and the ports that are being utilized. This gives you a pretty good idea of the goal.
