It's not that simple.  The client has to be specially written to
accommodate this.  (There is a program which does what you want but
only in the client->server direction; this is not quite what you're
after because it doesn't handle exposures properly and it doesn't cause
the pointers on one display to control the pointers on the rest.

It would probably be easier to find some video co-ax and hook many
monitors up to a single system.
