If you want to use that syntax, you can probably add:
GATEWAY1=217.20.117.1
NETMASK1=0.0.0.0
ADDRESS1=0.0.0.0

Or this should work instead:
default via 217.20.117.1 dev eth0

But, I'd consider looking for a different service provider that does 
networking in a more standard way.  If they have to overlay subnets, 
they could at least assign an IP within each one on the gateway device 
so a standard configuration would be able to reach it.
