You can have two emacsclients connect to a single Emacs server process.
If those two emacsclients don't belong to the same user, you'll have to
do extra work, such as copying the credentials from one user to the
other, and the result suffers from very serious trust issues (that
(temporarily) gives full access to your account to the other user).

Other approaches rely on separate sessions synchronized via
some protocol.  In that case it is often possible for the two side to
use different editors.

But AFAIK there's currently no good solution.
Of those, Rudel is in GNU ELPA and in need of a lot of love.
