Hi,

Which RedHat version do you use?
I'm using RH9 clone and Xnest is included into the distro:
whereis Xnest |cut -f2 -d' ' |xargs rpm -qf
XFree86-Xnest-4.3.0-2.90.55

I think Xnest can be easily found for at least RH from 7.1 to 9 and FC.
Package name is  XFree86-Xnest. If it's not included into your RH try to use any rpm search 
website like http://www.rpmseek.com for example.

BTW, you can also use xvnc. It has been discussed here on this
list a couple of days ago. Xvnc RH packages can also be found without a
problem and both these packages are included in my distro:
whereis Xvnc |cut -f2 -d' ' |xargs rpm -qf
vnc-server-4.0-0.beta4.1.4
whereis vncviewer |cut -f2 -d' ' |xargs rpm -qf
vnc-4.0-0.beta4.1.4
