on each of these ips.

Programs are running on CPU, not on IP addresses.
There are no telepatists reading qmail list.

Copy the supervise directory for the server and make another one using the |
second ip

It's more complicated than that - that keeps them on the same queue and only |
has one send process. If you want 2 completely separate servers with
different queues and so forth, you need to compile qmail twice - once with
each set of UIDs specified and also change conf-home (?) to indicate a
different base qmail directory for each instance. I'm doing this with 4
instances on 1 server (!), and while it's a bit of a pain to set up, it's
fairly straightforward. IIRC there's something about this in the qmail FAQ
as well. Email me off-list if you need more detailed instructions.

What is a pain, several instances on one server is trivial task.
You don't need to change UIDs, changing conf-home is enough !

What about the alias user? |

I believe one alias is enough. If you plan to run different domains
on instances, you should use virtual domains, and system-wide alias
has nothing to do with it.
