Yes, Zebra can be configured to run a separate system for both biblioserver and authorityserver. The koha-conf.xml file has an explanatory note:
<!-- [scheme:]host[:port][/databaseName] -->
<!-- scheme: tcp, ssl, unix, http, sru -->
I didn't realize you can even use ssl. That's rather cool. Anyway, you might have configuration like:
<listen id="biblioserver" >tcp:
index1.liblime.com:2060</listen>
<listen id="authorityserver" >tcp:
index2.liblime.com:2061</listen>
Since the default is unix socket, I'm not sure what the port numbers should generally be.
