Yes, you can have several ethernet cards, each with an IP in a
different subnet. You can run every application on what subnet(s) you
decide, but the exact way to bind one application to one or more IP is
depending on the application itself.

No that is not true. If you have both card in the same subnet, I am
not sure what would happen, but I beleive no load balancing.

Bests,
