I haven't done this in at least 4/5 years so this might be incomplete
(or even incorrect!) but the basics are:

- Create routing tables
# printf "100\tgw0\n" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
# printf "101\tgw1\n" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables

- Create routes
# ip route add default via 216.239.32.1 dev eth0 table gw0
# ip route add default via 208.84.0.1 dev eth1 table gw1

- Create rules
# ip rule add from 216.239.32.xx table gw0
# ip rule add from 208.84.0.xx table gw1

Google "policy routing" and you should get hits with good info.
