The java viewer is just an applet that can be served by any HTTP server. I've used apache in the past to serve the applet pointing to the inetd port for VNC to generate once-off VNC sessions authenticated by GDM. That said you have to be concerned with java security (i.e. I believe that by default you can only connect to the same host that served you the applet). Also, if you have SSH already set up (you are using it for the RFB), why not just use SSH to tunnel both the HTTP and RFB? -- William Hooper
