That is correct. The size of the sub-net is defined by the net's mask. so you could have your nets on ( say ) 192.168.10.xxx and 192.168.11.yyy and both nets would then have 24 bit masks. i.e. 255.255.255.0
Just a quick aside, nothing to do with DNS ... there is no reason that you can't have multiple NICs on the same subnet as each other - it just might not make sense with what you want to do with them here :-)
There's also no reason why you can't have one card responding to multiple addresses on different subnets.
