I did some more research on this issue and figured out a work around to the
problem above.

I thought  (incorrectly) that you could define the PID File in the init
script because it has a variable for it:

PID_FILE=/var/run/sshd.pid


It turns out that the init script never sources this variable for any
purpose.  

Man of sshd_config indicated that you could add this option to change the
default pid file.  

PIDFILE /var/run/sshd-ext.pid

This in fact created a new PID, however the init script would still kill
this process.

I am not a shell scripting expert but my guess is that it was killing it
because it is doing a killproc on $SSHD -TERM where $SSHD is the path to the
executable /usr/sbin/sshd.

{
        echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
        if [ -n "`pidfileofproc $SSHD`" ] ; then
            killproc $SSHD -TERM
        else
            failure $"Stopping $prog"
        fi
        RETVAL=$?
        [ "$RETVAL" = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/sshd
        echo
}

To get it working I needed to do the following:

Copy the binary in /usr/sbin/sshd to /usr/sbin/sshd-ext

Copy /etc/pam.d/sshd to /etc/pam.d/sshd-ext

Modify the init script by replacing sshd with sshd-ext:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Init file for OpenSSH server daemon
#
# chkconfig: 2345 55 25
