Actually, the router is not the default gateway for both subnets. 
Here's the layout:

INTERNET <-ppp0-> firewall_a <-> net_1 <-> router_in_question <-> net_2

So, I'm trying to 'un-masq' communication between net_1 and net_2, since
firewall_a does masq as well.  The default route for firewall_a is my
isp, but there is a specific route defining router_in_question as the
gateway to net_2.  All machines on net_2 have router_in_question as
their default route.
