If you mean having a second interface on the box sure...
We have two interfaces on ours for the same reason.
One interface is on our regular routed class b net to monitor all kinds of stuff, and a second interface that is on an outofband network to perform tests on devices there (typically management interfaces on devices or appliances).
Your question 2 is empty...
