You don't NEED two nics to NAT. You can simply assign an Alias IP address
(multiple ip's per nic). You can have as many as you want I think, but
two should be no sweat.
I DO USE TWO NICS in a router though. The reason is that Aliased IP's
split the bandwidth in half and that is not good for performance.

Jeff
