2 DNS, one machine

Is it possible (pratical) to run 2 domain name servers on one linux box (with one processor)?

I'm installing FC2 to be a server for small home network but I would like to connect to the internet occasionally for updates and such and I need to assign an IP address now while installing. RFC 1597 suggests two DNS as a solution for this situation.

Do I only need to use one of the addresses assigned for private networks in RFC 1597? It wasn't clear to me when I read the spec if these addresses are reserved globally for private networks or if DNSs connected to the internet always need an assigned IP address.

TIA,
Bruce
