Hi Mayank,

it seems that I missed your post. Sorry for that, but this can happen
some time.

BlueZ connections are always established with a source (local) and with
a destination (peer) address. So you can create connection between two
local device, but you must make sure that the source address is the
address of the other dongle. The only think where this not really works
is BNEP, because the kernel will route the TCP/IP traffic over the
loopback interface.

The instances question is non-sense, because there is always only one
instance of BlueZ running (like one TCP/IP, USB, SCSI, Firewire etc.),
but this instance is capable of handling more than one local device.

Regards

Marcel
