Simple - you can't. It is physically impossible to do.
The reason is that the server needs to work with
broadcast traffic, and by definition, broadcast
traffic does not 'belong' to any IP subnet, and
so cannot be "associated" with any particular
interface/sub-interface.
In general, there is no reason to need to run two
servers - you can normally achieve most things
with one. Perhaps if you explained what you want
to achieve then we could make suggestions.
