Multiple NIC's - Multiple websites ?

We have two sites corresponding to IP's as follows :

site1.fullsite.edu - 1.2.200.1
site2.fullsite.edu - 1.2.200.2

(Note the IPs are on the same subnet).

We are planning on hosting the two sites on the same physical server running
Win2K3 Standard.

Which approach is better : assign the two ip's to the same network card and
then assign each website to listen on the corresponding IP
OR
Have two NIC's in the same server with different IP's ?


thank you.

One Nic. Two IP#s.

Two nic requires two subnets. You don't put two Nics in the same subnet
together.
