not necessarily....depends on whether they are physical subnets ( i.e
physically isolated or logical subnets..ie sharing the same 3ethernet
channel but separated due to the ip addresses assigned to the machines.
in the second case you can bind multiple ip addresses to one ethernet
card and use that machine as a gateway for the two subnets.
If the subnets are physically isolated then there has to be a router
with at least two interfaces between them.
