You guys should take a look at how the camera/monitor code does it, as that
adds another viewpoint to be rendered that is potentially far from the
client. I haven't looked myself, so I can't offer any more than that
suggestion right now.

I too have been looking for something similar. I have entities that I
render on the client that aren't in the client's view according to the
server so the entity model flickers in and out when it drags just out of my
view and back in. I need to set it to be shown even if its not in the PVS.
