running certain programs through certain connections

Currently I'm connected to the university LAN, but I'd like to run gaming software through a friend of mine's WLAN located nearby (DEAR MODS: THIS IS MY FRIEND'S WLAN WITH HIS CONSENT. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY UNIVERSITY). Are there programs that will allow one to route certain programs through certain connections?

Thanks
 
Simple way would be that when you want to play games with your 'friend' you would simply disable your NIC that is hard wired and let everything go through the WLAN... when done playing games just disconnect from the wireless and re-enable your LAN connection.
 
If it is always by IP then you could set the Nic on the UNI with a gateway metric of 1 while the Nic on the LAN had a gateway metric of 2 to correctly order the NICs (you could get away with not doing this, but it may cause incorrectly routed requests).

Then you can just do a route add -p IP_of_gaming_server mask 255.255.255.255 gateway_IP_of_LAN_NIC
