We ran into huge issues with a 'multihomed' 2000 server
back years ago.

I'd not do it. Plus if there are things on that server
that you want secure, any breaches could leave no security
and data loss or worse...

A cheap NetGear or a PIX 504 firewall would be better then
trying to cobble something together and hopeing that it
works... IMO
