As I read the original post and it described wanting to route certain traffic to one next hop and all other traffic to a different next hop my first reaction was to think of Policy Based Routing since PBR gives the ability to identify certain traffic and to forward that traffic differently from normal routing. But then I realized that the distinction of this traffic is its destination address. And I realized that PBR is not needed. A simple static route for that particular destination address specifying that destination address and the associated next hop will be sufficient, as long as entries in the routing table for other destination addresses does not also use that next hop.
