2 NICs of the same type should be OK. It's actually a little better as it
can save you a few k in your kernel, but that's majorly negligible with
newer boxen.

They'll be eth0 and eth1.

You didn't use that box for your email, so I don't know what dist you're
using. Let us know which dist and version you're running and we can help you
figure out how to configure the network properly.

ciao,
