Ah, I misread this a bit. That should be possible too, but you would 
need a session. When you continue on the 2nd computer, you would need to 
tell the sever what session to continue. I have no idea if a feature 
like this existing already in session protocols (rtsp).
if so, you still have the issue how to transfer that 
session-identification from computer 1 to 2.
