Well you only *need* two NICs if you want to filter a separate private 
network.  The two NICs thing is from K12LTSP (the goal of that project 
is to create a separate private network in a classroom using Linux as 
a terminal server).  You can do what you want with only one NIC since 
it appears that you want to filter an already existing network.  The 
idea behind two NICs is that one NIC (eth0) is attached to your 
separate private network (192.168.x.x) and the other NIC (eth1) is 
attached to your existing network (or firewall or router or whatever). 
    However, you should still be able to do everything you want with 
two NICs or one.  If you currently don't have a DHCP server in your 
network, you can use this box to do that (the K12LTSP server is setup 
to do that automatically).
