It would be simpler and cheaper to put the webserver PC in the DMZ of the
(only) router. That way, any compromise of it would not permit
cross-contamination of the other PCs behind the same router (at least as I
understand things). The introduction of an additional router doesn't add
much to the equation in the configuration you are suggesting. You may also
want to go here and read this information (which may help):
