query_posts question

I’ve very recently set up my index page to use two loops. The first uses query_posts to display only categories 2, 3 and 4, the second to display only categories 1, 5 and 6.

This part works fine.

What I want to do, though is also set up the query_posts for each to do the following:

– the first loop will show all of the posts made for a single day

– the second loop will show the last five posts made, regardless of the date they were posted

How can I do this? I’ve tried setting wordpress to “show at most 1 days”, then using posts_per_page=5 as a variable in the query_posts for the second loop, but that winds up showing every post made in the last five *days*.

Any ideas?
