Ok. So 192.168.164.63 and 192.168.164.251 are two seperate routers,
right? And one connects to the Internet, and the other connects to an
internal LAN, correct?

What you want to do is have the default route point to the
Internet-connected gateway. Then add a second route, through the other
gateway, with the LAN's network as the destination.

Or, translated:

# route add default gw 192.168.164.XXX
# route add w.x.y.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.164.YYY

Where XXX is the Internet connected gateway, and YYY is the local
gateway, and w.x.y.0 is the network address of the internal network.
