Looking for a tool to route connection requests

We are considering using setting up 10 identical PC running VNC server inside our firewall, and we want to find a simple way to have clients from outside our network get connected to one of the 10 that is not in use. We are picturing them hitting a machine in our DMZ that will monitor the 10 to see which are free, and direct their connection accordingly.

We want this to be a clean and simple as possible for the clients--they will be provided with credentials that will get them into any of the 10 PC's, and we don't want them to have to work through a list of addresses until they find one that is free.

And of course we'd like this to work with the java client.

Has anybody done this? Is there a software product out there that can handle that task of directing the requests?

Thanks

BT

Load balancing between 10 vnc servers.......
Other people want this kind of setup ?

Possible it can be done with some code changes in the repeater code.
Instead the the viewer pass the server ip, the repeater select
the first non connected from a server list

I think it would be very useful.
