This sounds strange - your primary ISP wants you to pay for 
access to 'mailchimp.com', but I thought that's why they are 
your ISP, i.e., you're already paying them to transport your 
traffic.

Doesn't make much sense.

You could do this with PBR (Policy Based Routing) in Cisco 
or FBF (Filter Based Forwarding) in Juniper, or whatever 
feature the platform you have implements. Basically, you 
identify the destination and force it down a specific 
interface/next-hop.

This would be interesting if your addresses come from your 
provider's own allocation, but if they are your own, there's 
less work to do.

Cheers,

Mark.
