Router – Two Routers, Two Internet (1 Open, 1 PPTP) – Routing

gatewaypptprouterroutingvpn

I'm trying to setup two routers – one to route specific sites to a always-on PPTP VPN connection, the other for open internet access w/ firewall.

First router is connected to Internet w/ built-in firewall.
Second router is connected to a PPTP VPN connection.

I was going to connect a wire between the routers and would like some insight on how to get both groups of systems (connected to each router) to talk between automatically. Even better would be to setup one gateway for certain sites and another for general Internet. The other option is to default all sites to the net and shoot others to the gateway or vice versa…

Any insight so I can get a better grasp of this?

Thanks!

The easiest solution would likely be to set all your clients to default route to the "internet" router - now assuming that is something more than just a $10 ASDL modem you should be able to enter the static routes on that device so that it forwards the PPTP stuff off to the right router for that.

What make/model etc are the routers ?
