My Network configuration is as follows:
192.168.2.1-192.168.2.255 (Subnetmask - 255.255.255.0 )
192.168.3.1-192.168.3.255 (Subnetmask - 255.255.255.0 )
I have only one Domain controller with two NIC cards.
One NIC card is connected to 192.168.2.0 Network(via one switch) and
other NIC card is connected to 192.168.3.0 network (via another switch).
Will this one server serve as DC for two networks ? (One Domain is enough).

Please see the Network configuration at

The main issue here is that a single DNS server can only return one IP for a
given host. If you want to keep the networks separate you would ideally need
two DNS servers. Alternatively you could set the DC to act as as static
router between the subnets. Of course if you do this the subnets are no
longer separate.

Your other option is to change the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 on all
computers - which is the approach I would take.

Basically, you cannot maintain isolation between the segments AND make them
both part of a domain.
