It's not that simple. What you have to do in the back end for
something along those lines is ugly, you have to terminate the
connection on the firewall, then have a proxy of some sort make the
connection to the back end. Not bad for web servers, web reverse
proxies have been common for quite some time, but for something like
RDP it's ugly. In the described circumstance, it's impossible to know
the hostname until well past the TCP session being established, so
it's impossible to just port forward the TCP connection to the
appropriate back end server. For something like this, Microsoft's
remote desktop gateway is the best bet under the constraints noted
here.
