Route breaks firewall's local access

I have 2 gateways/systems setup:

Gateway A:
eth0= 10.10.1.1
eth1= 10.30.1.15

Gateway B:
eth0=10.30.1.1

I have set up a static route that says if the 10.10.1.0 network wants to reach the
10.30.1.0 network, use the 10.30.1.1 gateway. This works, both the network's users
(10.10.1<->10.30.1) can reach each other.

However, this breaks Gateway A's local access to the 10.30.1.0 network.
I suppose it's because locally on A, the packets get routed via 10.30.1.1.
When it reaches B, B detects that it's a local IP (10.30.1.15) and sends it back directly to
10.30.1.15
(as opposed to 10.30.1.1).

I hope I've explained properly.

Any ideas/help?

How can I tell A not to use 10.30.1.1 if wants to locally access 10.30.1.0?

Thanks.
