look into the route command. You can tell it to use different interfaces for different subnets or even individual hosts. They do not survive after reboot so will need to be added in a script and then add the script to /etc/rc.local so that they get added each bootup

The network interface settings are stored in a file called /etc/network/interfaces

You can edit that
