No, by default X never uses a network connection when the connection is to the 
local machine. It is done over a socket

In fact, by default, X doesn't listen to any network interface at all, that's 
something you have to enable manually

I don't think there is anything built into the protocol to handle that, but in 
principle it should be possible to write something like an X proxy that sends 
the displays to multiple x servers. kind of like an X multiplexer

But I've never seen it done
