What I meant was, can I configure each port for a completely different
network (say a public and private LAN), or do both have to be on the same
network (for trunking/bonding purposes.)
You can configure them however you want. I have boxes with as many as 7
interfaces with most of them on dual port cards. The only problems I have
ever had have been motherboard related (some old motherboards can get
cranky with lots of cards plugged in and can refuse to 'see' some ports at
all) not OS related.
