Hi I am a long time lurker finally have a question 
Basically I run a small web forum off of my DG834GT and I want to make it more secure. By setting it up as a Dual Firewall. Pretty much like this link explains http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demilitarized_zone_(computing)
To make my network a bit more secure. By running it on 2 Subnets so if someone breaks into my Web Server they wont see the rest of my network. As it will be running on a different subnet behind a second DG834.
I think this should be possible with 2 DG834s. I have one DG834GT which is my primary access to the internet and I want to configure a DG834 v2 to run as a second firewall where the rest of my LAN will sit on its own separate subnet.
My knowledge of this sort of thing is pretty limited. But the way I see it is that I need to set up a Static Route to do the job of sending packets through the first firewall into the second to allow net access and mail etc.
The way I have tried so far with out to much luck. Was plug Router 1 into Router 2 via an RJ45 patch cord on the LAN ports. I set up Router 2 with a different subnet and left DCHP turned on both Routers as I do need the 2 separate subnets. But no matter what I do with Static Routes I can not seem to get access to work from router 2 to get to the internet.
Any help at all would be most appreciated.
