ip route flush cache does not help even it I do it manually
The problem is that the route _never_ marked as down because the correspondent gateway successfully reached. The break of the line occures _after_ gateway:
internal /eth1----modem1 (gateway1) --X-- Provider1
-------- eth0 |router|
\eth2----modem2 (gateway2) --X-- Provider2
^^^^ ^^^^^
here is no breaks here is possible breaks

Yes, I've done it by the means of iptables (I have a 2.4.20 kernel).
masquarade does not interacts with routing, just put it in the two routes:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $IFACE1 -j SNAT --to-source $IP1
ipdables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $IFACE2 -j SNAT --to-source $IP2
where $IP1 and $IP2 -- the external addresses of the certain interfaces ($IFACE1 and $IFACE2)
may be you need more specific configuration.
