  I've the same situation here and we use route-to to route everything 
from ISP1's network to their gateway and vice-versa.

  route-to re-routes a packet from 1.0.0.0/24 when it's trying to leave 
through the ISP2 interface and everything then gets NAT'ed properly.

  pass out on $ext_isp2_if route-to ($ext_isp1_if $ext_isp1_gw) from 
$isp1_net to any
