Routing Traffic on a FortiGate 80C

We have a FortiGate 80C currently in place with a static IP on WAN2.  I am setting up a second static IP on WAN1.  I need all traffic from the network to funnel through WAN2 with the exception of a single machine.  That single machine needs to be setup in the DMZ and have all traffic routed through WAN1. It is critical that current traffic from the remainder of the network continues through WAN2 for DNS reasons.

I've never worked with the FortiGate interface before and would appreciate a little help in getting this accomplished.\

Many thanks in advance.

is the IP on WAN1 a public IP too? or just another private IP and the subnet of WAN1 is for DMZ?

It's public.
so basically all traffic from DMZ and that particular host to the Internet should go through the WAN1 interface, and all other traffic goes to the Internet through WAN2 by default. am i correct?
Correct.

Thanks all... I decided to forgo the DMZ all together and just used a policy based route for the one host.  Seems to be working as desired.
