Presumably you've successfully routed port 5900 to the one machine you're managing now.
You have two options, depending on the capabilities of your router. My router allows me to "translate" an incoming port, so I can connect using port nnnn and the receiving computer sees a connection on mmmm. If your router can do this, then you can leave the VNC servers operating on port 5900, and set the router up to make the translation. With many routers, you set up a named "service" for the incoming port, and set up the translation when you configure the firewall "rule". If your router won't do this, then you need to configure the VNC service to use some other port, eg 5091. Then create additional "services" in your router (you might name one VNC-5901) and set up additional rules to route such connections to the desired machines. You can do this many times, for many machines. To access the machine you want, simply append a colon and the port number to the router's IP at the client. So, if you were connecting now to a VNC server at 111.222.333.444 you'd instead use 111.222.333.444:5901.
