It all depends on the way your Koha site is installed.
Do you have 2 differents ports to access Koha ? Or two local machine names ?
If you have one port for OPAC, another one for Intranet, you will be
able to select which one is available on the net, which one is not.
For two local machine names, you will need two machine names declared on
a DNS.
You can use a website like GANDI or dyndns.org to deposit a domain name
and then it shall be accessed with the name you deposed.
