If you want to do it cheap, you can use two linksys routers.
The routers would be setup in series like this:
INTERNET
||
Linksys 1 > LAN 1 (these can be seen by Linksys 2)
||
Linksys 2 > LAN 2 (these can't be seen my Linksys 1)
So, connect L2 to a LAN port on L1, and you can do all the you want and
all of the machines can still access the Internet.
YOU MUST USE DIFFERENT IP RANGES ON BOTH ROUTERS
L1 = 192.168.8.0/24
L2 = 192.168.16.0/24
It also helps if you card code the L2 WAN IP (public) to something like
192.168.8.2/24 and then enter the DNS properly.
