   Hello list,
   I want to implement the flexresp feature in a testing environment and
   have some questions according this issue.
   Did i need a second Nic for the FlexResp?

IIRC the response goes out whichever NIC is appropriate given normal
routing considerations. It definitely does work if you have one one
NIC listening in promiscuous mode (without IP address) and a second
which is configured in the usual way (IP address, netmask, gateway
addresses all set appropriately).

So you could probably get it to work with one NIC with appropriate
juggling, but I haven't tried it.
