I'm no expert, but... AFAIK, you don't. AFAIK, you can't.
You can only have one default route, and that route points to one
interface. Most people try to have two Ethernet cards on the same subnet so
they can get double the bandwidth, but it simply does not work. If you want
double the bandwidth, bond the two interfaces or aggregate them so they act
like a single one. If you want to offer some services on one IP and other
services on the other IP, realize that you're going to have to find some
other way.
If I'm wrong, which I could be, someone please correct me. But that is my
understanding of the situation.
What is it that you are trying to do?
