XDCMP does not work if even if you check the box to enable it under the new gdm setup control panel unless you add

[daemon]
RemoteGreeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdm-xdmcp-chooser-slave
to /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf

[malco_2001]

In addition to this setting I also had to run the command

xhost +

as a regular user to disable the X access control list. That is before I could run
Xnest :1 -query myserversip to connect from another machine.

Are you sure that is the right file? That doesn't exist here, but this
one does:

/usr/local/libexec/gdm-xdmcp-chooser-slave

[malco_2001]

You are right. I was using
RemoteGreeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdm-xdmcp-chooser-slave which was the incorrect path. That is strange because I know I even rolled back using a snapshot to the state of a fresh install. I am going to format this machine again to try it with just the host + setting. I know for sure that it did not allow me to connect until I did that.

Ok this time I think I have narrowed it down a little further. xhost + wasn't required. editing /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf wasn't required. It was only working because i was restarting gdm in between trying random things. I assumed that it had fixed things because i disconnected my monitor when rebooting the server. The problem still occurs when I attach a monitor unless i restart gdm. The minute I restart gdm the screen appears on both my remote session and my attached monitor. I will have to look into it some more....

I've added the RemoteGreeter= for 9.1, so it should work out of box now
