Configure your dhcp server on that machine to apply static ip/routes for the prefered machines you always want to route via CM. IE route = 2.0.0.1 instead of the global failover balanced route of 10.0.0.1

If for some reason CM goes down ... comment out the dhcpd.conf entry - restart dhcpd and network on the client machine such thatit starts to route via 10.0.0.1 (the failover balanced gateway). Or you can be really cleaver and write some scripts to do this.

Hasta la vista baby.
don't want to leave a specific machine running all the time tho
