draw a polygon twice for the lighting effect on both sides?

Hi,

To make a polygon with the lighting effect on its both faces, Do we draw it two times, in each of which we set a proper normal? The two normals are opposite to each other.

Is there a better way? Please help. Thanks.

What you want is two sided lighting.
See glLightModel with GL_LIGHT_MODEL_TWO_SIDE.

Nvidia have some demos of this but I am unsure how fast this is on other cards. (you may be better off doing a double render)
