change the default x server's ip and use another instead
It sounds like you're trying to specify network behaviour at the application level. An X server runs on a host and is contacted via a port on a host. It's up to the network software to decide how to route packets between it and a client.
What are you trying to do that you think needs you to specify an interface for the X server? And why don't you think you can do that in the networking subsystem?

Dave specifying that a will use x, and b shall use y is straightforward in say mail systems. Host is a fancy term for machine. The network subsystem does not seem to have a option to say x use this ip than another to and my knowledge, while a proxy would message the issue, firewalling too is not a good option either Theres got to be a way of telling X to use this ip a rather than ip b.
