dual routing wifi / lan

Hi,

i got the following problem. I've got a workstation with two ethernet
cards: eth0 LAN card, eth1 wifi card. I use the wireless card to
connect to the internet via a wifi-router and the LAN card to connect
to a server (single computer), which disks are mounted via nfs.

I would like all connections and traffic be routed through the
wireless device, EXCEPT for requests to the server ip, which should be
routed through the LAN device.

How can I configure this?

Thanks for any help
Regards,

Matthias

And the routing table looks like...

Then put the Ethernet on a separate network (or at least use a 'host'
route) instead of having everyone on the same address range.

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.100.254

or similar.

# route -n
# route del default gw
# route add default gw <(ipaddress|fqdn).of.your.wifirouter>
# route -n

Thanks for the hints,
finally a little look at man route.conf did the job.
Shame on me ...
