Getting a ride on Mariusz's question, but probably deviating off topic:

I if a had the setup where the two subnets run off the same network card 
on virtual interfaces, i.e. not physically separeted, could I still run 
a DHCP server on them? How about bandwidth limiting? Could anyone give 
me some pointers?

Hello,
     My server is on Mandrake10.1
eth0 is WAN with static IP connected to 512Kbps DSL.

We have two subnets :

  192.168.0.0/24

  192.168.21.0/24

My question is having seperate network card 
for each subnets a better option.

eth1 and eth2.

Or eth1 and eth:1 is also fine

This depends on two things:
1. Do you want to physicaly separate these two network segments?
2. If you want to, for example, shape the traffic, you'll have a more
complicated setup if you have separate interfaces.

Therefore it's up to you and depends only on your needs in this matter.
