If it the client GigE <--> Server IP is not the default route in both directions, and they are not on the same subnet, you will have to configure a static route on each host in order to guarantee that the traffic will traverse the chosen route in both directions.
IOW, static routes on both client and server are necessary. -- Tom Thomas A.
