>Is it possible to have two DNS servers with only one public IP address?

no.  when you run the first instance, it will listen on port 53.  When you 
run the second instance, it will fail, because port 53 is occupied.

You an play administrative games, depending on the registrar, by 
registering two hosts at the same IP, but two won't run on the same IP.
