It caused havoc on my system, I used 1 for Samba, 1 for DHCP & DNS..  
on the same subnet...
It really didn't help system performance, and just caused confusion  
in the log files...

I believe the Best Practice, is to have 2 separate subnets, on those  
2 cards. In & Out or 2 different Inside Subnets...
