Dear Joe,

thanks for your kind respons

Now that I'm reading it again, ...
I have to admit I also don't understand it.

Here a better description.

I have several customers that are running Quake and HalfLife Servers.
Just for the case you don't know about, these are popular computer games.
If I'm running serveral such servers on the same machine, then I'll have to 
assign them onto differen port numbers typically 27015, 27016, ...

Now my problem,
These Server a very CPU cycle intensive, and I like to be able to reasign
such a Server to some other machine without having to tell the customer.
The customer should only see one virtual machine with one IP address
and a range of UDP port under which the server are running.

Seems you believe this sort of stuff is working?

Best Regards
