Why would you need to purchase another switch?  You are simply assigning
the switch ports that the server is already using to to a new VLAN.  In
fact, you would actually be freeing up a port on the switch (unless you
decided to bond the nics)

As far as not being able to listen on more than one interface... while it
is unusual, you are the first person I have ever seen complain of it.  The
fact is, multihoming a server is rarely a good idea.  Sure, most
enterprises have multiple networks connected to each server, but usually
different things are listening on different networks; for example a web app
server may be connected to a management VLAN, a backup VLAN, a SAN, a
database VLAN, and the webserver VLAN all with unique physical nics...
however most of the  services only listen on one adapter.
