It is not possible. OpenSSL supports at most one EC cert + private key
at a time in a given context (default or SNI-based).
If you go to the dane-users list archive you'll see some additional
notes on ECDSA and RSA.

Actually it is, because even though RSA is a single algorith, not all
implementations accept all key sizes, stick with *mainstream*
parameters.
