Hi,
You can not have a gateway that is on another ip subnet than your physical
interfaces from that server, so a route should have a gateway that is on
the same ip subnet as your interfaces.
In your case you should add another subnet on both servers something like:
HOST A: 172.29.120.2
HOST B: 172.29.120.3
And then add a route for 20.20.20.0 via 172.29.120.3.
Or you can just add on either of the servers one more ip address from the
class of the other server.
All this will work if the servers are on the same broadcast domain (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_domain) if they are on distinct ones
then you need to configure the router between them to route the
20.20.20.0/24 network to host b.
