We'll start with the easy stuff. You must have two static public IP
addresses to run two DNS servers.

As for design, hints, etc. have you looked at the Help files yet? If
not, start there. For a primer on DNS as it applies to IIS, look at:

http://www.iisanswers.com/articles/dns_for_iis.htm

DNS on Windows 2000 is a good book if you need more.

Do you need a router? Can't tell. You need to be able to reach two
separate systems by public IP address, if in your case that needs a
router, then yes, you need one.
