You do NOT need a local network card for each remote subnet. Try this :
shared-network eth1 {
   subnet router1.cable_modems {...}
   subnet router1.emtas {...}
   subnet router1.hosts1 {...}
   subnet router1.hosts2 {...}
}

Make a shared network for EACH SHARED NETWORK. A shared network is 
one where ON THE SAME BIT OF WIRE you have multiple subnets. So the 
stuff behind router1 is NOT on a shared network with stuff behind 
router2 or with stuff connected directly to the server.
