Hacking routes as one of the other replies suggested will only solve

That's not quite correct. The problem is not that the packets wouldn't be accepted by your client, or that your client would not reply to ARP requests. The Buffalo device at 1.1.1.1 would accept packets from your client (unless rp_filter is enabled and it had no default route, but let's ignore that), but it would lack a route back to the client. The Buffalo device would never send an ARP request, nor would it send packets in return.
