I'm not sure I understand why you need to "extend" it.

This is possible anyway.   Standard connection tracking distinguishes 
independent connections by source & destination IP address (and also source & 
destination port in the case of TCP / UDP), therefore so long as at least one 
of the addresses involved in each connection is unique you should have no 
problem supporting mutliple sessions.   You say you wish multiple clients to 
access one server - the clients will all have different IP addresses, 
therefore they will be treated as independent connections.
