Sounds perfectly fne.

Perfect example of why an "Internet sharing device" (pick your favorite
type/model) should never be the Default Gateway of a system, *except* when
the system only has one subnet and no other router in the system.
.......I am assuming everyone will use the same Firewall for the
Internet......
The Default Gateway of the clients will *always* be the router that directly
faces them. If there is more than one router facing them, then it will be
the router representing the path to the most "subnets" and not a router that
leads to a "dead-end".
All routers will have their own Default Gateway set so that the routed
traffic eventually works its way router to router to the one router that
directly faces the Firewall Device. That partcular router then uses the
Firewall Device as its Default Gateway.

Domains have no relationship to subnets. It is apples and oranges, two
differnt things,..no relationship at all. Neither effects the other. I
would probably maintain two distinct Domains (as they probably already are)
and just establish a Trust between them if you need them to interact. But
there is no way I can predict your company's needs with respect to Domain
Security and Domain Interoperability. You will have to study the many
different possibilities and decide that for yourself.
