Pretty sure you could easily do this in Citrix using a NetScaler Gateway and various settings on StoreFront/Web Interface.
Not that it helps you in your VMware implementation, I know, but it's an example of where VMware have a lot of catching up to do to really challenge Citrix on the XenApp/XenDesktop front. Can't you use a separate device to broker the external connections to View in this case?
