I changed the gateway lines to include the whole network, so, i.e.,
post-up ip route add 172.1.1.62/32 dev eth1 src 172.1.1.41 table
external
became
post-up ip route add 172.1.1.32/27 dev eth1 src 172.1.1.41 table
external
and everything starting working great. Thanks! :)

IMO, your special routing is broken. Not all packets with the given
source address should be sent to the gateway, but only packets with a
destination address outside the LAN. Packets with a destination address
inside the LAN should be sent directly.
Either route the LAN prefix using the main table :
post-up ip rule add to 172.1.1.32/27 table main
(to be created after thus inserted before the "from" rule)
or add a direct route for the prefix in the special table :
post-up ip route add 172.1.1.32/27 dev eth1 table external
Same for both interfaces and servers.
Note : the routes to the gateways should not be necessary.
