I use this feature extensively to route external reverse server connections to my internal listening viewers for support purposes. The easiest way to do this, without needing to use a proxy or some other piece of software, is to simply forward certain external ports to internal machines thru your router/firewall config. Example: firewall:5501 -> pc1:5500 firewall:5502 -> pc2:5500 firewall:5503 -> pc3:5500 Now you can tell the remote server (the "ignorant" user) to "Add New Client" and type in the address of your firewall followed by :1, :2, or :3 depending on which machine you want them to "give" their session to.
