You should be able to do this with a single mpd process, or you could
use two of them also. In the first case:

mpd.conf (rough sketch)
-----------------------

default:
	load locationA
	load locationB

locationA:
	new -i tun0 locA a1 a2
	...

locationB:
	new -i tun1 locB b1
	...

I haven't done a whole lot of testing of multiple bundles, so there
could be some embedded bugs in there... :-)
