It is possible, but when we talk about dual licensing we typically
mean that two licenses are applied to a work, and the user can (at the
user's option) pick a specific license to use the work under.
What you seemed to be asking for was two licenses for different
(disjoint) sets of users, which isn't going to be DFSG Free unless
both licenses are DFSG Free. [And possibly not even then... we'd have
to look at it very closely.]
