I've done this before, although only with two pc's behind the same router. For example, the router is set up to forward port 5900 to pc1, with the ip of 192.168.1.50 and port 5901 to pc 2 with the ip of 192.168.1.51. PC1 is set in vnc to listen on port 5900 and pc2 is set to listen on port 5901. You set this on the connections tab of the options for the vnc server on each pc. If I want to connect to pc1, I run the vnc client ( from work ) to the No-ip address:5900, if I want to connect to pc2, it's the No-ip address:5901. I don't know what the port range is that's allowed for the vnc server, but trial and error would seem to be a good way to find out, if the manuals don't say anything about it. You could run the client on one of your 8 pcs and connect to each of the others on different ports.
