I think the ideal situation would be a little Javascript to make the  
selected items appear in a list to the side of the select box, like:

Server:                  You have selected:

And have JS that updates the second list to reflect what you've  
selected.

Or, the other way I've seen it done, is that you click some names in  
a list, hit a "Add" button in the middle, and they pop over to the  
other list. So you have a list of remaining items, and a list of  
selected items. This paradigm also is pretty well understood I believe.

HTH,
Ben
