  That is one of the features of the 'resource' in Jabber.  Really, there would 
be no need to actually have a client redirect the messages, the transport can 
already do it 'for' them.  The identifier doucment at 
http://protocol.jabber.org/docs/identity.html starts to touch on what we're 
talking about.  Here is a short excerpt:

2.3 Resource 
This is the optional third identifier. All Resources belong to a Node. Within 
Jabber the Resource is used to identify specific objects that belong to a user, 
such as online sessions or paths of communication

  Aka, I'm tcharron at jabber.org.  I can have resources setup such as 
tcharron at jabber.org/Cell, which would designate my WAP enabled Cell phone.  
This would be a private resource, aka, no one else can see it, but I can 
redirect messages incoming to me to tcharron at jabber.org/Cell, which is setup to 
be 4347408 at WAP.jabber.org.  More details will hopefully soon becouse available 
from Jer, but this functionality is already supported in jserver now, but is 
still in experimental stage..
