Setting up alternate routes to blocked sites via Wi-Fi in Mac OS X

My office has restricted access to Internet sites such as Skype & Dropbox. I also have access to an unrestricted Wi-Fi.

The laptop is connected to both access points. Now my problem is, when en0 (ethernet) is my preferred channel then blocked sites like Skype won’t work though I have an active Wi-Fi connection. If I change the preferred channel to en1 (Wi-Fi) then Skype works but I cannot browse any of the company Intranet sites.

Why does the fallback to Wi-Fior visa versa does not work?

Here are my routing table entries using command netstat -nr:
