  I agree with Your assesment, but offer a different solution. At our
site we allow 3 types of routing: default, Proxy and dynamic (RIP). 

  Our perfered method for individual hosts (hosts not acting as a router
for a subnet) is proxy. Proxy can be set up a number of ways but basicly
fools the host into thinking its connected to one large network (the
Internet) and it arps for every host. Using this techinque your two subnets
would talk directly to each other.

  How to setup. 1 add a default route to its own IP address with
a hop count of "zero", or lie about the subnet mask (this method
only works for local network). When the router is needed it will
answer the hosts arp and when its not it won't.

  The advantage of this over the standard default method is if 
more than one router exist or the router changes IP addresses, then
Proxy can use the best router available now (without any changes).
We have a hard time getting people to change addresses all at the same
time.
