I use gdm on the servers, and I change the client rc.local startup script to ping one and then the other listed XDM server, find one that is up, and do "X - indirect" to it. Look at the server load, pick the smallest. It does not do what you are asking for. In particular, it does not Do on-the-fly failover. If you have Server1 and Server2, and Server1 is picked as the XDM server, and you logged in to Server1, you will not notice if Server2 went down. If you logged in to Server2, and Server2 went down, you would be thrown back to the chooser screen. If Server1 went down, and you were logged in to Server2, you would not notice. If Server1 went down, and you were logged in to Server1, you must reboot the client, where you will see Server2 only.
