Steven:

I've never tried this, but assuming you are using nova-network, I think
it's just a matter of creating a second Linux bridge for that second NIC,
and then passing the --bridge flag when you create the second network using
nova-manage:

1. Manually create a new Linux bridge on the compute host
2. Add the second physical NIC to the bridge
3. When you use  thenova-manage to create a second network for an existing
project, add the --bridge flag

So, if your new bridge is br2, the example from <
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/using-multi-nics.html>
would just be modified to do:

$ nova-manage network create
--fixed_range_v4=20.20.10.0/24--num_networks=1 --network_size=256
--label=second-net
--project=$your-project  --bridge=br2

Take care,

Lorin
