At present the layout is as follows:
192.168.168.X:
2 x PCs (via etho 0)
NAS
Connected via 5 port gigabit switch

192.168.168.1.X:
ADSL Router
2 x PCs (via eth1)

So in effect I have two networks running.

I want to throw the ADSL router into the mix so all devices are
Internet facing, but at the same time ensure that traffic between all
devices bypasses the router (unless of course it's intended for the
Internet).

I have another gigabit switch lying around in a cupboard somewhere.

FWIW, all my NICS and switches support 9k jumbo frames - this was a
criterion when selecting switches, mobos and NICs.  In any event, jumbo
frames is turned off because the NAS doesn't handle it well.
