You can't run 2 instances of EQEmu on the same PC/Server unless you are running something like VMWare which will mean 2 IPs are needed. I am pretty sure it is not possible, because port 9000 has to be used by the clients, and you can't have the same port going to 2 different IPs on the same LAN as far as I know. Even if you set the VMWare to use your main OS as a bridge for its internet connectivity, I don't think it would work quite right.

I have been able to get it working on my own LAN fine when running multiple servers from my house, but only 1 at a time can be accessed from outside of my LAN even though I can access both from within the LAN.

You need a proper Internet routable IP per server, at that point you could run a dozen servers on the same physical machine. If you have one Internet IP and a router doing NAT, it can't be done because your LAN IP's are all being masqueraded and are essentially meaningless outside of your own network.

No because your cable modem is the device that receives the outside DHCP address from your service provider. From then it's just NAT translations to the routers which provide local LAN addresses.

A hub is not going to be useful for anything as it just does layer 1 multi-port repeater. You have to be ultimately serving from two separate outside addresses servable by your ISP's subnets specified for the network in which your residence resides in.
