i/o I/O Ports on Intel NUC acting as I/O ports of a Proxmox VM

[VE5LPL]

So I was thinking about setting up some Intel NUCs (or any other Microcomputer) that would have a like Arch Linux set up where when you wake it up it shows up with a menu with VMs and real machines. So my problem when a family member would want to do some stuff on Windows 7 for making a photo book or whatever, they could open up their VM and Iit would be seamless for them. How would I add the capability to have USB ports on the NUC act like they were physically attached to the VM(i.e when she plugs in a usb into the NUC it automatically shows up on the VM) or any other I/O for that matter?

 

I have/will have the follwing

Dell Poweredge 2950 running Proxmox , with Intel NUC Clients running Arch Linux.

Virtualhere is pretty good. Not sure if it has a linux client or not though.

np. So you would run the client on the nuc, then run the server on each vm.

Yeah I got that, I was also planning on implementing the system for physical machines that (will) be in my rack, however how would I get it receive the command to connect to the server, would it just be a simple bash script (which I have done.) or something else... Anyway I would like to put this discussion on hold till I get a client computer working.
