General

There are two options.

Connecting to Multiple Networks

Unless you have a very old version (in which case you should UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY), one user with TWO NETWORKS configured (NOT an additional server specified in the same network) and two connections, one to each network, authenticating with zncuser/zncnetwork:password is what you need

If you have multiple irc networks setup under your znc account, you may connect to a specific one directly by adding /networkname to your username like so

username/networkname

Create another network, name it whatever you like (for example "freenode"), and add the irc server address to the network, Then authenticate with /a separate irc connection/ to zncuser/freenode:yourpassword
