I'm trying to do this as well.

From what I can tell xdm does reverse name lookups for all connecting hosts 
and if it cannot resolve the IP address to a name it does not manage the 
remote display (even with wildcards).

I have not tested this theory because I'm lazy/busy, but add the hostname 
and IP address of the remote display to /etc/hosts and see if it works.
