Apache 1.3 -> IP address and X

[Joel Hammer]

I do this sort of thing for a web server, which sits behind the modem
on a small network. You  would have to use your firewall to route all
packets sent to a particular port to the machine running the remote X
session, I believe. You can specify the screen X will use at startup, with
X :1 -query remoteclient. 
This will make X listen to 6001.
