To set up 'a.net' as your xdm server, first you need to do the following.
edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers and comment out the line

#:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
That way no local xdm session starts.

Do the Xaccess configuration needed for your site.

Then start Xdm. Manually xdm -nodaemon or from your
rc.local script at boot time. That should give an xdm
server with a text console, which serves X to remote 
clients.

: The following will work:

: Machine 'a.net' acts as a xdm server for 'b.net', and others. Then, on machine
: 'b.net' start X by:

: X -query a.net
