Unless you bind them to different ports, you can't.  You can only have
one daemon listenning to aany given port at a time.  The first one binds
to port 53 so the second one can't start.  The other option would be to
have each one bind to a different IP, like thereal IP for the "public"
and a nonroutable (10., 172.) to the private, but I am not sure how to
do that right off the top of my head.
