How did you plan to get the connection from the client
to server?

Maybe you can do something with nc and the -e option.
Something like listening on one port and starting an
instance of nc when receiving a connection. But I
couldn't test it, because some paranoid person
decided -e should be disabled.

Anyway I recently wrote a program to do something
very similar. You can see the source here:
