I don't think that's possible. the worst case is that somebody taking
over the public machine, then he can switch the KVM controller to some
other machine, but once it's switched, he/she looses control over the
KVM and left on the machine (public) they are on. That's the worst
case scenario.

Subject : KVMs
Had a quick question...
I have some users that want to use KVMs to switch between computers
on 3 different / seperate networks.
Are there any known security concerns about having networks set up
this way?
I am thinking that if I can remote into the machine that touches the
cloud, I would be able to then by pass security and use that machine
to remote into the private network.
Any thoughts?

PAST, n.
That part of Eternity with some small fraction of
which we have a slight and regrettable
acquaintance. A moving line called the Present
parts it from an imaginary period known as the
Future. These two grand divisions of Eternity, of
which the one is continually effacing the other,
are entirely unlike. The one is dark with sorrow
and disappointment, the other bright with
prosperity and joy. The Past is the region of
sobs, the Future is the realm of song. In the one
crouches Memory, clad in sackcloth and ashes,
mumbling penitential prayer; in the sunshine of
the other Hope flies with a free wing, beckoning
to temples of success and bowers of ease. Yet the
Past is the Future of yesterday, the Future is the
Past of to-morrow. They are one -- the knowledge
and the dream. (The Devil's Dictionary)
