The easiest way to do this is to copy snort.exe to snort2.exe (as
you will need to run two occurances of snort). The snort.conf with
snort2.conf, directories for rules/ and rules2/, directories for
log/ and log2, etc.

Start one occurance like this:
E:\Snort-v2-3\bin\snort.exe -c "E:\snort-v2-3\etc\snort.conf" -l "e:\snort-v2-3\Log" -A full -i
2 -d -e -X -s

and the second occurance like this:
E:\Snort-v2-3\bin\snort2.exe -c "E:\snort-v2-3\etc\snort2.conf" -l "e:\snort-v2-3\Log2" -A full
-i 3 -d -e -X -s

(Note: look very closely at the differences in those two startups.)

If you want to run two occurances of snort "as a service", then you'll
need some additional software that enables that which also requires
some hand editing of the registry. I think the winsort.com site
discusses this in more detail, but haven't been there for a while.

Then in your base_conf.php you can point to the different directories
to achieve the objecitve.
