The DHCP config uses inheritance for the various levels e.g. pool from
subnet, subnet from global. Host objects inherit from global and the
subnet that they are in (and as was recently discussed in another
thread it is bad practice to include host declarations inside the
subnet declaration as they are globally defined).

So in order to achieve what you want you need to remove the routers
option from the subnet declaration, add the routers option to the pool
declaration that needs a router and then also add the routers option
to each host declaration.
