One leap at a time!
The usual quick-fix in a small network is to make your default router know about everything else. That is, your internet-facing router knows the route to your internal router - and vice versa. Then if you send to a single default and have a destination address that the other router on the same network should handle, it will forward the packet for you _and_ send you an icmp redirect telling you that it will save time if you send to the other router yourself. That way the computers don't have to participate in real routing protocols.
