I don't get what you're getting at.

Yes, sometimes two NICs are needed. In your case, an argument could be made
that using two NICs isn't secure, because that server could potentially act
as a bridge between two different security zones.

And the OP in question doesn't want to do what you stated, so I don't see
your point.
