The reason you would want two NIC's would be if this machine was a border
firewall, eg:
---------- ------------
| Client |-*internet*-| PPTP Svr |-*internal network*
---------- ------------
If your config looks like..
---------- ------------ ------------
| Client |-*internet*-| Firewall |-*internal network*-| PPTP Svr |
---------- ------------ ------------
..and the firewall forwards incoming PPTP requests to the internal PPTP
server, no, you would only need a single NIC. Might need some funky ip
forwarding, though..
