I bought a switch box (for about $50) that has three Mac monitor ports (DB25) on
the back. The middle port goes to the monitor and is connected to a 2 position
switch on the front. The other two ports go to the two computers. The company
Belkin makes them, but most computer stores only carry these sorts of boxes for PC
VGA ports, I had to special order mine.
Here's the page at Belkin (you'd want part #F1B024):

I got mine from:
