I am trying to use xdm to control a couple of X terminals.  

When I first start the daemon, everything works fine. (I am using all
of the defaults.)  The problem is that when I reboot any of the terminals,
xdm does not grab it again when it comes back online.  

Is there some way to get xdm to recognize that a server has gone down
and keep retrying till it comes back up?  I've tried playing with
the obvious parameters such as # of retries, but the problem seems to
be that once xdm has made the connection, it doesn't realize when the server
goes down.  What am I missing?
