Is it technically feasible to send two feeds from PowerPoint? I need one feed with Normal view sent to our projector, and a second feed with the Presenter View sent to a secondary video monitor. I would continue seeing the Presenter View on the source computer (in the control booth).

Another way of showing what I need:

Source PC   -> Presenter View  (control room)
- Monitor 1 -> Presenter View  (sent to video monitor by the podium)
- Monitor 2 -> Normal View     (sent to projector)

As for the hardware I'm pretty sure I'd need two graphics cards do this. But first I need to know whether it's even possible to do what I'm asking in PowerPoint.

Yes this is doable. By setting up the projector as an extended desktop, this should be default behaviour:

See Example

Above is an example of what happened when i fired up my windows 7, Powerpoint 2010 installation and clicked play slideshow "from the beginning" from the slide show menu.

Note: the left screen is my primary display (start menu) and right is my secondary display. You can change this by using the "Show On" drop down list as seen below: enter image description here

Edit: seeing your update to your question - you should be able to use a splitter to set both your control room and monitor 1 as duplicates and monitor 2 as a secondary.
