If I follow the question correctly you are hoping to use the BNC and RJ45
connections on the same card on the local server? If you are I don't
believe it's possible, a NIC is set to one or the other.
What operating systems are you using? If the local server is Linux it's
pretty easy to put in two NIC's, a coax one and a UTP one, then use the
local server as a router.
I didn't quite follow how you've got 2 UTP connections into the local
server either - it there a hub somewhere or has it got several cards in?
