So a follow up.

I'm guessing I need a new section for an additional xymonnet?

Yes.

[xymonnet]
ENVFILE /usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log
INTERVAL 5m

[xymonnet2]
ENVFILE /usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD XYMONNETWORK=IAD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log
INTERVAL 5m

Is that right? And it's ok to use the same log file?

Not quite right, because the CMD setting doesn't permit you to set
environment variables that way (the command isn't passed to a shell,
but
executed directly). So the easiest thing to do is to have a shell-
script
"wrapper" around the xymonnet command, that sets the XYMONNET
environment variable.

Should I have another xymonnetagain then too?

Good question - off the top of my head, I'd say "yes, you should".
