This looks fine.  Have you setup routing on the client machines, or
ascertained they are correctly receiving routes from routed?  A simple
'netstat -rn' (or 'route print' if they are M$ machines) will reveal if
your router has correctly advertised its routes.

If you try to ping a mcahine on the 5 network from a machine on the 2
network, do any routes get added?  If not, can you manually add a route
(you'll need to do this to the machines on both networks) and get a
ping through?
