Well, it should be pretty easily inferred from what's been said so far.
Create a zone file for each description of your zone. Create two
named.conf files, each with a listen-on directive for the appropriate
interface, and reading your zone out of the file that describes the data
you want to publish on the interface specified in listen-on. Then start
two copies of named, one reading each config file. Depending on your
needs, you'll probably want to log each instance to different files, as
well.

If you need precise, step-by-step instructions, I imagine google will be
of help.
