Given the limitations of Linux network behavior, you would have to do it
using source routing and the "ip route" stuff. You can force traffics to
a given NIC by source IP and stuff like that.
However, you can probably control most of the traffic just by setting
the routing so that the cheapest (using "metric") route is via the
preferred NIC. If that gives satisfactory separation it's simpler to
understand.
