Give them each their own named.conf file, and it would probably be best 
for them to have different default directories.  Use the listen-on 
option in each named.conf to specify the IP that it uses.

However, for most purposes where you might want to have multiple 
instances, you can achieve the same thing with views.  What are you 
trying to do that views doesn't accommodate?
