Paul,

The following information is taken from
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

I believe it may be the way you should configure the NIC if the admin GUI
doesn't have the funtions to add a second NIC.

DEVICE="eth1"
IPADDR="192.168.0.1"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="none"  

You will probably have to use a different subnet mask, but this I believe
this is the basic idea.  Just configure the second NIC to run on the 192.
block and leave the other NIC configured for whatever your current outbound
IP is.

I have a RAQ 3i and this can be done from the GUI, but I am including it
b/c I don't know what the older RAQ's are like if you happen to have one.
As far as only letting the machine that can see the outside world be the
only one to access your db server you will just need to set that up in the
grant tables or db config files depending on which db package you are using.
