Finally got round to trying out my suggestions using routes and default gateways. It doesn't work. TCIP/IP refuses to broadcast for a mac address when the IP is off its own network, even if you tell it to via the default gateway or routing table.

Therefore Kymmy's suggestions are still your best bet.
