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

CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse

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".
