Yes, but the setup I'm going going to describe is probably not what you wanted to hear.
The computer with two NICs is a router. Its eth1 connects to its own subnet. The only computer on that subnet is a kiosk that only runs that web browser.
are your 2 NICs configured with the same IP address or different? your gateway to the internet, does each NIC use the same one or 2 different gateways?
