Debian as gateway for subnet/2nd network

Hello, guys! How are you?

I'm facing a problem. I have 2 networks (192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24) and what happen is this: in the 1st network (192.168.1.0/24) there's a gateway (192.168.1.1) to the Internet, and the 2nd network needs to pass through the 1st network to reach Internet.
To connect both networks, I have 2 servers (Debian "Stretch" 9.6.0) working as MASTER and SLAVE, and the idea is to use them as gateway for the 2nd network, like this:

[INTERNET] --- [1st GATEWAY] --- [192.168.1.0/24] --- [2nd GATEWAY (Servers MASTER/SLAVE: Debian)] --- [192.168.2.0/24]
Both servers are using enp0s3 to connect to 192.168.1.0/24 and enp0s8 to connect to 192.168.2.0/24, and they are working as DNS and DHCP for 192.168.2.0/24

I tried to add a default route to 192.168.1.1 (my 1st gateway) like this:
route add 192.168.1.1/32 dev enp0s8 (interface connected to my 2nd network)
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

But when I try to install Debian in a client on 192.168.2.0/24, during the network auto detection, it says there's no default route to Internet. When I proceed the installation (pointing to the server 192.168.2.1) the installer tries to set a repository mirror but it fails, saying that it wasn't possible to get that mirror, either because the network (repository) is unreachable or because the repository is broken/offline.
About Windows client, when I am setting Primary and Secondary DNS, instead of use 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.2.2 as my DNS for 192.168.2.0/24, I need to set 192.168.1.1 as Primary DNS.

My network interfaces are set like this:

FILE: /etc/network/interfaces

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet static
    network 192.168.1.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    address 192.168.1.181 // 2nd server: address 192.168.1.182

auto enp0s8
iface enp0s8 inet static
    network 192.168.2.0
    broadcast 192.168.2.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
address 192.168.2.1 // 2nd server: address 192.168.2.2

Also, my DHCP is set like this (with failover setting):
cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
// This is the Master Server, while the Slave Server is almost equal, except few details to make it work as FAILOVER server

authoritative;
ddns-update-style interim;
option domain-name "mynetwork.local";
option domain-name-servers ns1.mynetwork.local, ns2.mynetwork.local, 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
log-facility local7;

failover peer "DHCP-FAILOVER" {
    primary;
    address 192.168.2.1;
    port 647;

    peer address 192.168.2.2;
    peer port 647;
    max-response-delay 30;
    max-unacked-updates 10;
    load balance max seconds 3;
    mclt 1800;
    split 128;
}

subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    option routers 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option domain-name "mynetwork.local";
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;

    option netbios-dd-server 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;
    option netbios-name-servers 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;
    option netbios-node-type 8;
    option nis-domain "mynetwork.local";
    option nis-servers 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;
    option nisplus-domain "mynetwork.local";
    option nisplus-servers 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;
    option ntp-servers 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2;
    option time-offset -18000;
    pool {
        failover peer "DHCP-FAILOVER";
        range 192.168.2.3 192.168.2.254;
    }
}

And, finally, my firewall script is this:

#!/bin/bash

modprobe iptable_nat
modprobe iptable_filter
modprobe iptable_mangle
modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE
modprobe ip_tables
modprobe nf_conntrack
modprobe nf_conntrack_ipv4

modprobe nf_tables
modprobe nf_tables_ipv4
modprobe nft_masq
modprobe nft_masq_ipv4
modprobe nft_nat
modprobe nft_redir
modprobe nft_redir_ipv4

iptables -t filter -F
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t nat -F

iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

INTERNAL_NETWORK=192.168.2.0 # My 2nd network
INTERNAL_INTERFACE=enp0s8 # Interface connected to 192.168.2.0/24

[[ $(hostname) = master ]] && SRV_IP_ADDR=192.168.2.1 || SRV_IP_ADDR=192.168.2.2

// These 2 lines bellow are for TCP

iptables -A FORWARD -d $INTERNAL_NETWORK/24 -m multiport -p udp --sport 53,67 -j ACCEPT

What do I need to do to make my servers work as gateway / Primary-Secondary DNS for 192.168.2.0/24?
And how do I set a default route from 192.168.2.0/24 ---> 192.168.1.0/24?

Thank you for your attention.
