Can ISA 2006 standard manage 2 external adapters?
Can ISA 2006 Standard Edition manage 2 external adapters? If so, can i add the 2nd external card and then configure ISA to see it or will I have to reinstall ISA Server from scratch?

You might be able to use two in a Nic Teaming situation at the hardware level,...but you still only have one nic when you do that because the virtualized interfaced created by the teaming becomes the External Nic.
No - ISA only supports ONE external interface. Period.

To qualify, even if you allowed destination-based routing, you would need to assign IP addresses to the secondary external interface (only the true external is exempt from this requirement). this has to be done at the subnet level so any Internet based users who came to your location (published web server, smtp server etc) through the proper external interface would appear to ISA as a spoof attack.
Yes,...and that reminds me Keith,..I forgot to mention that the second "external" nic is assumed by me in this case to be a different subnet than the Default External Nic (like in the case of a second ISP with another Internet link).
