The splash module may be useful to you: http://drupal.org/project/splash

You don't have to create a page-front.tpl.php, which would probably conflict with your "home" navigation.

"Display any internal path, external URL or text as a splash page before going to the actual frontpage.
  Notes: Version 6.x-2.x will not be ported to 5.x and new features will only be added to 6.x"

You can have a front page which looks totally different than the rest of the theme by creating page-front.tpl.php . If you are meaning to ask if you can drop in a static html page and have it linked to rest of the site, then i dont think its possible atleast not cleanly. I think you should implement the the static html design in page-front.tpl.php.

Hello,

I have here a Drupal 5 installation. Now the user wants to show some
new, static HTML pages for doing a campaign. But the old site must be
accessible.

How can I achieve this the easiest way ?
