I don't understand what you wan't to achieve, rigth now. Do you want
ISP2 to be used only when the clients open the IP in the 21/29 range?

Adding to /etc/rc.conf to set the routes up
defaultroute="ISP1_GATEWAY"
static_routes="isp2"
route_isp2="-net 21.0.0.0 ISP2_GATEWAY"

If you only have one server that uses two IP's then forget about using
natd. Natd is for sharing a IP adress with multiple computers.

Read the section about alias_address of the manual natd. This tell you
way your having problems.

If you do need natd, because you have server behing you gateway, then
you need to have one running on if_isp1 and one on if_isp2 with unique
configuration files. You need two write your own scripts that do this
and place then in /etc/local/etc/rc.d/, since this can not be done from
rc.conf.

Please read the section about forward of the manual ipfw. You seem to
have a wrong idee about what to put afther the fwd action. 21.0.0.0
isn't a valid adress.

If you need a specilised firewall then I would advice against modifing
rc.firewall and use another configfile instead. The reason behing it is
that this file could be overriden if you update you OS. You can do this
by adding this to rc.conf:

firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="/etc/firewall.conf"

This file sould contain something like:

add   100 skipto 10000 ip from any to any via if_isp1
add   200 skipto 20000 ip from any to any via if_isp2
add   300 skipto 30000 ip from any to any via if_local
add   400 allow ip from any to any via lo0
add   500 deny ip from any to any

# Now the firewall is still simple. But if your needs grow the rules
# grow in number. Splitting this up early cuts the number of rules
# pakkets have to go thoug with out the need to do so.

add 10100 divert natd1 ip from any to any
add 19999 allow ip from any to any

add 20100 divert natd2 ip from any to any
add 29999 allow ip from any to any

add 30100 fwd ISP2_address from 10.0.0.3 to any
add 39999 allow ip from any to any
