Network Connections Help?

[Shaun33]

Hi all,I've installed 20 Windows xp machines onto Proxmox which are all connected to a domain.Just wondering if its possible to have 20 people connect to these machines with 1 IP

Example

User 1 connects to machine 1.
User 2 Tries to connect to machine one but cannot.

So i want if Machine 1 is in use try connect to machine 2 and so on.
So as the user only has to remember 1 address and not 20.

Yes you can make this. You need a firewall gate to all vm's, then you need make chain where you have listen ports of vm's and if port and internal ip is work - new connection go to new vm's(redirection/nat/etc).

You have :

192.168.0.100 - main ip to connect and 3389 port.

vm's have pool 192.168.0.101-192.168.0.120 and port 3390

you firewall listen new connection.
check 1st vm - if no any connection on 192.168.0.101:3390 then pass connect if connection is on, go to new ip > 192.168.0.102 > check > goto new ...... > .... etc.....

I use mikrotik
