I don't think that would work, because you'd still have the same problem of having the gateway route certain traffic differently - only now it doesn't originate on the gateway.

If you had two routers, you could have the default gateway for the whole network pointing to one, and then run routing rules on your server to route some of it's traffic via the other. Or if all the server traffic were to use the second router, you could just point it's default gateway accordingly.
