Each separate segment could simply have /etc/hosts configured properly 
with a machine as a gateway to the other networks.  Depends on the 
number of hosts.  For example, between my dmz and home net sits a choke 
firewall that handles all the data transfer from one net to the other. 
Two nics, one that has an ip for the dmz, the other has an ip for the 
home net.

Here's /sbin/route output on that machine:

default         a.dmz.edu       0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


dmz-edu is the dmz network and home-edu is the home network.  The 
default listed (a.dmz.edu) is my firewall which is connected to the 
internet.
