You forward other ports to the other machines.  Depending on your router
you might have to also change the display number on the machine.

It seems to be down now, by check http://faq.gotomyvnc.com and there are
examples.  Also check the archives.

If you are only using Microsoft Windows and don't want the other features
of ssh, you might want to check out Zebedee or stunnel.

http://www.winton.org.uk/zebedee/manual.html (be sure to read the examples
section)

Using a secure tunnel also answers your first question because you only
forward the port for the secure tunnel, not the VNC ports.  You then can
connect to multiple VNC machines via the tunnel just be configuring the
tunnel.
