What login manager do you use - kdm, gdm, etc. or what desktop environment? And what distribution. The easy and general method can be to replace your X client application to your own which ask to choose server1 or 2 and then run orginal X client.

You can edit file "/etc/gdm/Init/Default" and paste for example this script at beginning or at end
Code:
ANSWER=$(zenity --list --text 'Select server' --column 'option' --hide-header 'server1' 'server2')

if [[ $ANSWER == 'server1' ]] ; then
  zenity --info --text 'Chosen server1'
#  call_mount_script1
elif [[ $ANSWER == 'server2' ]] ; then
  zenity --info --text 'Chosen server2'
#  call_mount_script2
fi
You can probably also edit file "/usr/share/gdm/gdm-greeter-login-window.ui" for better interface, but I did not tested this.

You don't, unless you want to re-write/re-compile the source code for xclock.
