This is not true. If you have two VNC servers behind a router with NAT, you will need to put one of the servers on a different port for your outside people to accesses both of them.
This is why: With NAT your router is setup with one outside WAN address and one inside LAN address, it then forwards all packets coming in on a particular port to the correlating PC. The router will do port forwarding (if it has been set up). If you have a setup like you describe, when an outside user connects to the outside WAN port on port 5900, the route gets confused. It does not know which PC to send it too. Therefore you will need to have one VNC server on one port 5900 and the other server on another like port 5901. As outside users connect they will connect to my.vnc.com:5900 or my.vnc.com:5901.

Now if an External Guy tries to connect, to any of these PCs, then I guess he can connect to them if they are having different Display Numbers ( This is because they would then listen on different ports). Is there any other way of doing Port Forwarding ? Can the client specify the port on which the VNC Server is running ? Further In the case of Windows, there is no Diaply Number ( We all assume it to be 0), How would the router know which of the servers to forward its request to ?
