I think you're overthinking things.

If the only systems you want to PXE boot is off of eth1, don't change
anything with your router or eth0.  Just set up NAT and ip forwarding
on eth1, and have dnsmasq hand out DHCP addresses and PXEboot images
on eth1.

I'm not sure which distro you're using, but I'm sure it has
documentation for setting this kind of thing up.
