I have been told that it is possible.  In my case, we didn't have an extra
monitor just floating around, and the sales people suggested that for the price
of the monitor you can almost buy a whole new machine (RISC: faster too!) so 
it would make better sense not to go for a double-headed critter.  Since you 
have an extra monitor, it should work.  No, I don't know any details, but our 
DECpeople say it's fine on the VS3200.
