So before I get to the question this is my setup:
I have a Gigabit-N Airport Extreme (Airport A) as the main gateway setup in room A and feeds internet to the rest of my home. However, because I have more than one computer in my room (room B), I have a Fast Ethernet-N Airport Extreme (Airport B) in bridge mode to deliver internet to the computers in room B.

And now the question:
In the near future, I would like to isolate the network in room B from the rest of my home, having Airport B distribute its own IP's and broadcast its own WiFi. To do this, I thought of setting up a host DMZ in Airport A for Airport B (set in DHCP mode) and using the firewall in Airport B to protect my room from the open tubes of the internet. Now the question is: Will this work? If so, what will settings will I need to apply to both Airports?

Thanks

Note that I havent bought Airport A yet, and a WRT54G is in its place. I just want to know if its possible before I take the plunge and get another Airport.
