I currently working on some prototype templates that do this. 
The bottom table hugs the bottom of the browser window - even when the
window is much taller than the content. 
I had been working on a dHTML type solution, but opted instead for a
simple tables one.
My main table (that hold the content and need to flow from the top of
the window) has a height attribute of around 90% - 98% (depending on
what bottom margin you want). The main content row has a height
attribute of 100% (100% of the available height, which is 90% of the
window height). The footer table (which is discrete) simply follows the
main table.
It works well for most but not all browsers. In particular NN6 ignores
my height attributes, so far. 


hth, sorry haven't got an url I can show you right now.. in a day or 2
maybe.
