VNC server session management (one port, multiple sessions)

[titchy]

VNC needs an SSH/HTTP like service that runs as root and spawns sessions as the authenticating user allowing the VNC protocol to be tunnelled to the correct session via a single TCP port.
The sessions should remain available on disconnect and be re connected on re authentication by a user.
Having to run up a new server with a new port number for each user is an administrative and firewall unfriendly process.
