Guys,
I think that there is some confusion here, between connecting many viewers
to a single server, and just running many viewers on a single host, to
different servers.
You can run potentially huge numbers of VNCviewers (e.g. ~100) on a single
host. If you run too many for the available bandwidth, you'll simply see
some slow down. You can stop viewers using bandwidth simply by minimising
them, under Windows. The only real limit will be how much memory you have
available to store the viewers' copies of the remote servers' display
contents.
If you're talking about how many viewers you can connect to a single VNC
server (mirroring the same desktop) then that's different. The latest
releases of WinVNC and Xvnc can probably handle about 20 connections without
too much bother, provided you have a fast network. The protocol will adjust
to cope with mixtures of viewers on slower and faster connections, so it's
hard to give a fixed answer.
Cheers,
Dr. Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
