It's been a while since I did any networking but I think this should work. I can't remember whether you need to connect the routers together with a cross over cable or a normal cable, but whatever happens, the routers will need to be on different sub-nets.

eg UK Online 192.168.1.*
VM 192.168.2.*

However, you might not want to connect 2 routers together that are facing the internet as you may find that the traffic is all routed to one connection or the other. It all depends on the abilities of the router and whether you can set up the routing yourself.
