You should be able to do it with firewall.

I had played around with firewall and it did appear to be possible, but you have 
to figure out how you are going to split things, and then setup rules to do it.

You can easily split things by IP range/hostnames or by protocol, and possibly a 
number of other things.   I don't have the set of rules that I was using at the 
time.   If you do some searches and have a decent understanding of routing/NAT 
you will probably be able to set it up.
