firewall in internal network

Hi all,

I have a question about firewalls/routers.
I want to make an extra protection to a group of computers who are already
part of a bigger network.
I also want to make them independent, so i want to put them in an own domain
and an own dhcp server.

If I should put them behind a router, then they are protected but the
problem is, the computers in the bigger network wich they are part of also
uses internal ip adresses so the computers in the extra protected network
won't be able to connect to the computers in the bigger network were it is
part of (the other way is forbidden offcourse, computers in the bigger
network are not allowed to connect to shares of computers inside of the
extra protected network).
This is because internal ip's aren't routed over routers.

Has anyone an idea?
