Isn't this more of a static-routing option rather than a firewall?  A
firewall will block the packets, meaning that the clients which use the
"wrong" router, will have *no* internet access, rather than be directed
towards the right router.

You can most probably redirect the packets from one firewall to another, but
that's limited to a per port basis.  I think the simplest solution would
just be to re-route certain data from the "wrong" router, to the "right"
router

route add <network> <mask> <gateway>   if I'm not mistaken.

So, if you have 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 and want 10.0.1.0/24 to be assigned to
router 1, on your 2, you'll add a static route for that network, routing it
back to router 1.
