I just need a good overview and correction of any of my assumptions. Here's what I'm trying to do:
FreeNAS 20TB server with two different NICs:
-Two NICS. One 1Gbps, one 10Gbps
-1Gbps connection (A) is attached to Comcast router/modem (10.1.10.1), with a static public IP, bypassing a secondary hardware firewall router (192.168.1.*) connected to the Comcast Cable modem.
-10Gbps connection (B) is attached to Windows 7 PC on a 192.168.1.* range, controlled by the firewall router.
Connection A (1Gbps, on 10.1.10.* network) is for downloading and Plex/Minecraft connections/etc, as the hardware firewall router attached to the Comcast router/modem is locked down for security purposes and firewall router is using 192.168.1.* as the network address for computers, and is acting as DHCP. Comcast router only uses DHCP on 10.1.10.* network.
Connection B (10Gbps, connected to Win7 pc on 192.168.1.* network) allows for extremely fast backups/transfers from FreeNAS 20TB server to a secondary PC, running Windows 7, also so any jails or CIFS shares can be utilized on that one PC from the 192.168.1.* network.
-How does FreeNAS handle such a setup? Gateway is set on Connection A (10.1.10.1) to use internet, bypassing hardware firewall router, using an IP address of 10.1.10.* (10.1.10.105, for example)?
-How does Windows 7 PC see the FreeNAS 20TB server? Just as a separate network (ip address static set from FreeNAS setup?)
Any input would be welcome.

EDIT: So each NIC will have its own IP address, Connection A will stay within the 10.1.10.* subnet connected to the comcast router/modem at 10.1.10.1 for internet access. Connection B (ip address 1.1.1.1) will directly connect to the Windows 7 PC (on its own second NIC, IP address 1.1.1.2) via a 10Gbps connection, intel X540 on both sides. This should work, yes?
