That's what I'm asking, what kind of hardware do I need to handle this much traffic? Will just using a PC with 2 NIC's be enough?

Right now I have the two networks linked by a T1 going across town. This is supported by an outside vendor, and their equipment also does the routing and such. The remote campus is closing, and a new one was constructed right next to the main one. So, now we're close enough to be linked directly, we're losing the T1 and associated routers.
We won't be migrating 2 networks together, they're still different "groups", just closer enough together now that we don't need the T1. I also don't feel the need to completely re-configure 300+ computers (static IP's, don't ask me why). I guess I didn't mean to say "combine" them.

So back to my question, 2 NIC's in a box, or do I need to do something more?
