Pix Configuration Problem

Hi all, I have to configure a brandnew Cisco Pix Firewall but run into problems. We have a class C IP address network (yes, we use real IP addresses / was that way before I joined the company). We have 2 routers setup as gateways (one goes to the internet and the other goes to our HQs. No subnetting in place and I would loose to many IPs if I use subnetting. I'd like to use dummy IPs on the inside of my firewall (192.168....) and put the real ones on the outside. With NAT or PAT configured things should work OK. My Pix also has an additional interface to setup a DMZ for our web server / email server. Now comes the problem and I do not know if I can work it out. First of all - all network clients need to have access to the internet - I want to configure this as the default route on my Pix. I also have two groups of machines on the inside of my network. Both groups need to access the second router to go to our HQs. They (our HQs)have an additional firewall with rules setup on their site that routes group 1 (group 1 from my network) to their destinations and that routes group 2 (of my network) to a different destination. The router 2 on my site is pre-configured and it is not an option to make changes. It is also not an option to have the rules on the other site at our HQs to be changed. How can I configure this situation that a) the IP address translation puts different IPs on group 1 and 2? I could make 2 different pools but how do I tell the Pix which inside IP address goes to which outside pool? and b) How do I tell both groups not to use the router 1 (Internet)as a gateway but to go to router 2 (linking to HQs) as a gateway when accessing specific IP addresses at our HQs? Currently I have specific routing setup (routing entry is on each client / batch file and login script) so that if my clients need to access a machine at our HQs they go to the router 2 and completely bypass router 1. Where would I place this additional route to tell them "Go to router 2 if IP xyz is destination - do not go to router 1!"? Keep in mind - all IPs are currently real class C IP addresses - no subnetting in place. Any help is appreciated!!
