That doesn't really work (with CISCOish VLANs, anyway). A VLAN will basicly prevent you using the other IPs in the networks not matching "the" vlan of the port. Besides, physical separation is a good thing to have, rather than trusting your switch never to get its VLANs mucked up. Back on the core copic, it's possible to get (at least) dual port Intel EEPro100 cards; we've got one in a firewall I help look after.
