Did you create /etc/ssh/sshd_config.alternate?  In there you'll need to
at minimum configure sshd to use a different pidfile and to listen on
alternate IPs / port numbers.  It's the pidfile setting in the config
file that sshd will use -- the setting in the rc.d script just tell the
rc system where it can read the daemon's PID in order to signal it.

Then you'll need the alternate rc.d startup script which you already
seem to have in hand.
