I have recently added a second router to our W2K netowrk
to connect us to our Corporate WAN. We already have an
ADSL routed connection to our ISP for internet/email and
this is set as our default gateway via DDNS on our
server. I want to direct certain traffic for the
intranet via the new router and am unsure what I need to
do to our current DNS setup to do this without affecting
normal internet/email traffic.

From what I see, this isn't really a DNS question, but rather a network
question. Since you have two routers now, on your default gateway (your
current router connected to your ADSL modem), you would specify a static
route to point to your new router so any traffic going to any of your
internal subnets (subnet at your remote location across the WAN) would be
sent there, otherwise, all other traffic will still go to the default gate.

Make sense?

Don't have to do anything with DNS, as long as you're not changing any
records.

Unless I misunderstood your post, hope that helps.
