There are four possibilities.  The one you noted (of starting
a vnc server and using a viewer on both A and B), plus
three that work more like the windows server, and
display what the native X server displays.

xf4vnc would have the best performance.
x0vncserver will be part of future releases of realvnc.
x11vnc is implemented on top of libvncserver, and has some
       advantages in flexibility, portability, and command line options.
