For (1), I've used "apt-get install libnss-mdns" on the Raspberry Pi. That means you can then connect to it as hostname.local, so it'd be machinekit.local. If that works then we should look at giving each polargraph its own hostname (tosca-stepper and tosca-servo?) so we can connect to them both (once we've got more than one...)
And for (2), I've not used it, but a quick google suggests that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xpra would do the trick
The mDNS stuff is already installed on the Beaglebone, so it was available as beaglebone.local.
I've updated the hostname (following the steps in https://sheldondwill.wordpress.com/2013/12/14/43/ - which is basically "edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, then reboot") and set its hostname to tosca.
So now to ssh in you just need to do ssh -X machinekit@tosca.local
We'll need to change the name on the other Beaglebone (to knut, for the stepper-motor version) once we've got two Beaglebones on the network :-)
