RAS/VPN support with one NIC card

HI!

I’m trying to setup a RAS/VPN server on a Win2003Server, without to much
success.

My question is, do I absolutely need 2! NIC cards?
All examples and manuals I can find seems to expect that, but don’t state it
specifically.
Do I really need two NIC cards to be able to have the RAS/VPN server to route?
As the VPN tunnel anyway must end up on my LAN to pass to the internet it
must in that case be directly connected to my HUB, sounds ridicules.
