There is only one default route.

You said the machine is connected to two different networks, which
indirectly indicates that they have two different IP spaces. Let
the routes for the one network point to the gateway for that network,
let the routes for the other networking point to the gateway for
that network and everything will be working fine.

If, by chance, both the gateways have a connection to a global IP
space, let the default route point to the one with the fastests
link :-)
