[comp.windows.x] Dual server X

Question:

I have a need to implement a dual server X under X11R2
(soon to go to R4, I think).  To do this, it is time to
decide whether one of three methods will work.

Method 1:  (Really a question)  Does X have a designed in
method of doing this or are there conventions in doing this?
X will run on an AT&T pc (i386).  If so, what are the conventions
or is the definition in "X Window System" by S, G, and N?

Method 2:   Barring method 1, is it better to build one
BIG MASSIVE super server program with its dependency on
hw but possibly very fast.

Method 3:  Build a meta-server that looks like a server to
the clients and a client to the server(s).  Flexible but
possibly slow since another set of streams must be built.

Hmm.  How do we do this?  Suggestions, real world tips, good and
bad experiences, etc will be appreciated both now (in advance) and
when I am deep inside a debug.  Please mail 'em and I will summarize
the info contained therein.

Have a good one.
