Whether that was indeed the case was the kind of information I was
fishing for initially. Since his (apparently obsolete) router has space
for more interfaces a second router may or may not be the appropriate
way to go. Depending on how his routers are connected and how his
network is monitored use of a dynamic routing protocol may be overkill.

Or just budget for it.
