Have a look at LARTC Howto.
Remember that linux kernel allows you to have multiple routing tables.
It is very simple to "mark" packets in a lot of criterias and then
select what routing table must use each packet based on the "mark".
It is called "packet mangling" and you can do this with iptables+iproute2 suite.
iptables (I think with -t mangle --set-mark ) will be used to mark the
packets and "ip rule" and "ip route" to implement the rest of the
stuff.
Have fun.

Yes. This is quite what I want to do. I want to access the Internet via one
gateway and access the Local Area Network spread all across the city, via
different Gateways.

Yes. I will do that and post back. Thanks for the information. :)
