2 subnets

[Bernardo Vieira]

Getting a ride on Mariusz's question, but probably deviating off topic:
I if a had the setup where the two subnets run off the same network card 
on virtual interfaces, i.e. not physically separeted, could I still run 
a DHCP server on them? How about bandwidth limiting? Could anyone give 
me some pointers?
