Well, if you're running two different routers, you could do this rather simply:
Use the same physical ethernet for everything, and give the gateway IP
[router] of the "outside" T-1 to the "outside" people, and set the router
IP in the TCP/IP control pannel to the gateway IP of the "inside" router
for the "inside" people. Then, add a static route in each router, to the
other router, so IP based traffic doesn't have to transverse the net to go
from the "outside" network to the "inside" network.
It's a much simpler concept in reality, than it is to explain. :-<
