I'm additing a router hop (for policy-based routing) to my network and
have a few questions...

First, the old config:

T1-router-A
|
|
ASA-firewall
|
|
-------
| |
LAN DMZ

Instead of trying to make up ip addressing schemes for this exercise,
let me just label the interfaces this way:

T1-router-A [NET_1]
ASA-firwall [NET_1,NET_4,NET_5]
LAN [NET_4]
DMZ [NET_5]


Now, the new config:

T1-router-A T1-router-B
|_______________|
|
|
PBR-router
|
|
ASA-firewall
|
|
-------
| |
LAN DMZ

T1-router-A [NET_1]
T1-router-B [NET_2]
PBR-router [NET_1,NET_2,NET_3]
ASA-firwall [NET_3,NET_4,NET_5]
LAN [NET_4]
DMZ [NET_5]

For simplicity, let's just say that all LAN clients will be routed
through T1-router-A and all DMZ clients will be routed through
T1-router-B. Currently, the ASA performs all translations from NET_4
to NET_1, some clients have statics, others don't. Since I'm putting
in the PBR-router, it adds a hop, so the ASA can't keep the same
translations, right? Do I have to translate twice now? ASA will
translate from NET_4 to NET_3 and the PBR will translate from NET_3 to
NET_1? Is there a simpler way of doing this?

You shouldn't have to do any additional NAT translations. I'm
assuming that currently, you are using public IPs from the same subnet
for your links between the T1 router and the firewall.

Just move the IP on the first T1 router to the interface on the PBR
router that connects to the firewall. Assign any /30 IP blocks you
want to the links between T1A and T1B and the PBR router (I'm assuming
you're using separate interfaces). Put static routes in the T1
routers pointing the public NAT to the PBR router outside interface
and also one in the PBR router pointing to the outside firewall
interface.

The original config is easy because the T1 router knows how to get to
the LAN because it is a connected route. Since they won't be
connected anymore, you'll have to use statics.

why would you not just connect T1-router-A to T1-router-B directly
and hand-off whatever traffic you want by configuring policy on A ?

Is the new T1 going to your current ISP or a new ISP ?
