The basic idea is to scale (at least one of the graphs) + the corresponding
ticks.
For example:
 
In[1]:=
g1 = Plot[Cos[30/(1 + x^2)], {x, -10, 10}, Frame -> True]

In[2]:=
g2 = Plot[30/(1 + x^2), {x, -10, 10}, Frame -> True, PlotStyle -> Hue[0], 
    Axes -> False, FrameTicks -> {Automatic, None, None, True}]
 

We scale g2:

In[3]:= scale[y_] := -.6 + y/15

In[4]:= scaledTicks = 
    FullOptions[g2, FrameTicks][[4]] /. {y_Real, label_, len_, 
          style_} :> {scale[y], label, len, style};

In[5]:= scaledGraph = Graphics[g2[[1]]] /. {x_Real, y_Real} :> {x,
scale[y]};


...and combine

In[6]:=
Show[g1, scaledGraph, 
  FrameTicks -> {Automatic, FullOptions[g1, FrameTicks][[2]], None, 
      scaledTicks}]



But I'm sure, David Park has something better to offer at
