You can have the server be a part of both VLANs without having to do any
routing.. Here's a config snip with an example.
Everything defaults to VLAN 1, so no extra configuration on any of the
ports that will be only on vlan 1.
For clients on the second vlan, do this for every port that you want on
VLAN 2:
interface FastEthernet0/13 (or whatever port it is)
switchport access vlan2
now.. for the server, who you want to be part of both VLANs do this
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport mode multi
swithport multi vlan 1,2
That will give you 2 seperate VLANs both being able to connect to the
server on port 1 (in this scenerio.)
Be careful, in this case machines on both VLANs can connect to to the
server, the server can connect to any machine on either VLAN, but clients
on VLAN 1 can not connect to clients on VLAN 2 and vice versa. For this
it would be beneficial to put a router in place to route between to two
networks.
Hope this helps!
