We do quite a bit of web scraping / parsing on headless servers with Selenium. What we did was just install some X packages and run VNC server on the headless clients with Firefox. Cool thing about that is you can then go watch the scripts executing if you connect to the VNC session and take a screenshot on failure, etc.

Brilliant! I've been using Xvfb for headless operation, didn't even consider using VNC.
