Virtual Networking

[Empty]

IF you have a switch that supports it, and if your NIC and distro
support, you might be able to use a vlan to accomplish this task. VLAN
the home ports on one subnet, the office on the other, and the bastion
host on  both.

That's about as good(security-wise) as you will get without a second
interface.
