You can instruct the DHCP server to issue extra non-default routes to
the VMs when they get their IPs. For instance, to add a route to the
10.1.1.0/24 network via the router at 10.0.0.254, you would add the
following to the subnet:

neutron subnet-update \
--host-route destination=10.1.1.0/24,nexthop=10.0.0.254 \
<network_name>

That way the VMs will use the router at 10.0.0.254 to reach the remote
network, and they will use their default route for everything else.
