Yannai, you don't need two cards two have zones.
Zones are an artificial construct that are not bound by numbering scheme or
physical wiring.
One Piece of Ethernet can have multiple zones on it. As you point out, a
router is required but it doesn't have to be routing between physical
segments.
To answer George's question; a good intro to AppleTalk from a UNIX/TCP
perspective can be found at:
