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.
