Routing different traffic through different network card

[feenster99]

Hi all,
I have a data server that receives data via SSH from numerous users. This data is then sent on to another remote server, also be SSH. I was wondering whether it is possible to put another Gigabit network card in the server, and router outgoing traffic through it? I'm not sure how much real benefit this would bring, but it would be handy to maximise the throughput for both the incoming/outgoing connections.

Is it possible to do this, and will i see any benefit?

If it is sent over the same external link eg DSL line then no it wont make a difference since if your server has a gig card in it currently there is no domestic/SOHO connection avalible that will get close to using up all the bandwidth on it
