I use this feature extensively to route external
reverse server connections to my internal listening
viewers for support purposes.

The easiest way to do this, without needing to use
a proxy or some other piece of software, is to simply
forward certain external ports to internal machines
thru your router/firewall config.

Example:

firewall:5501 -> pc1:5500
firewall:5502 -> pc2:5500
firewall:5503 -> pc3:5500

Now you can tell the remote server (the "ignorant"
user) to "Add New Client" and type in the address
of your firewall followed by :1, :2, or :3 depending
on which machine you want them to "give" their 
session to.

Cheers,
