[vox-tech] ssh with X11 remote

I have an interesting problem with ssh and X11.  I know how to use ssh 
with X11 forwarding to my local machine.  However, I have a program that 
generates a series of image files, and it insists on connecting to an X 
server to do so.  Running this via ssh means that ALL the data involved 
gets forwarded to my local machine and then back again; this is very 
inefficient.

Is there any way to run ssh and tell it to use its own X server?
