If they are separately-addressable X11 screens (as is indicated by the
names), I believe you'll need to start two crservers.

However, you should try the "autodmx.conf" configuration file.  It uses
code that queries the DMX server directly to determine the
names/geometries of the back-end displays.  That may be a lot easier
than using "dmx.conf".  It also automatically starts the back-end
crservers, though that can be turned off if it's not working for you.
