You can then expose only the Connection Group to the end users, so that they have a single place to click, but each connect under it can have a different port number. If you do this you can set the max number of connections and max connections per user to 1 for each of the connections, which should prevent Guacamole from handing the same underlying connection to more than one user. - If you don't want to go that route, you could use something like haproxy to create a load balancer in front of the back-end servers, such that every connection from Guacamole goes to haproxy, and then haproxy takes care of balancing it to the back-end server/port combos. Like the Guacamole route, you'd want to configure each of the haproxy back-ends such that it only allows a single connection to it. I've done similar to Windows 7 Enterprise and RDP.
