Second NIC is unnecessary. Better go the way Amos suggested - do a policy based routing on OpenWRT (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/IptablesPolicyRoute) and traffic interception on Linux (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/LinuxDnat or http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/LinuxRedirect).
