Multiple ranges/gateways

Hello all,

I’m looking for a little advice. I’m using vyos on a esxi host and have 2 /29 ranges available.
I am getting around to setting up the second range. I’m trying to figure out how the best way to do this would be. I have the first range set up to send the default route (0.0.0.0/0) and now I’m not sure how to add the second route to 0.0.0.0/0.

For example -

Range one 10.1.1.10/29
router being 10.1.1.9.
I currently have a static route set to 0.0.0.0/0 via 10.1.1.9.

I also have 172.16.10.10/29 with a gateway of 172.16.10.9
(these are just rough examples)

So, My question is –
Is IP “smart” enough to automatically use the gateway within the originating network? My guess is “no” because it should never make an assumption on route, but networking is definitely NOT my strongest skillset (obviously) when it comes to stuff like this.

TIA!

Got it all figured out -
