    I do not understand what u  mean .
    A "default gateway" is somewhere to send a packet if you do not know where
else to send it !
    If u know where to send it ( 2 different networks) , it won't be to the
default.
    Try it out,  remove temporarily the default route and you two other
networks should still be talking with each other !
    Do u mean 2 gateway machines to the internet ?
