Unbuntu with 2 Network cards.

[Tim Henderson]

There doesn't seem to be any way they could communicate with each other 
unless you explicitly set that up.

I run an ubuntu firewall before my router, which is quite different than 
your setup.  My ubuntu firewall takes in the connection from my isp, and 
send all packets through my firewall (iptables) before sending through 
the second nic to my router.  But the only reason they communicate with 
each other is because I am explicitly sharing the connection.

That's my 2c at least.
