There is no link, they aren't really connected to each other. You just have 2 processes running. But these 2 controllers do not (can not) talk to each other. Switches can connect to either one or the other, but there is no support for multiple controllers with NOX, nor any protocol for controller-to-controller communication defined.
FWIW, I guess you could just start 2 controllers in the same directory (no need to duplicate the tree), running them on different ports. However, it's not very common practice to run multiple NOX controllers, because there is not too much you can do with them. (What are you trying to do?)
