For the PIX 501, only if one of the subnets is internal and the other
is external. The PIX 501 does not support more than inside + outside
interface, and does not support VLANs, and does not support routing
on the same interface going back again.
The next model up, the PIX 506E, supports 2 VLANs that can be attached
to the inside interface, giving you a total of 3 logical interfaces
on the one physical interface. That would handle what you asked for,
provided that you have an inside 802.1Q compatible switch (or host NICs.)
The models above that get increasingly more flexible, expecially with
the new PIX 7.0 software; 7.0 is not available on the PIX 501 or 506/506E.
