someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think vnc will assume a 2 digit is display number (offset from 5900) and more than two digit is port number. so while it *should* be myhost.mydomain.com::3559, myhost.mydomain.com:3559 will still connect to port 3559 rather than using 3559 as an offset from 5900. the :: would then be an absolute requirement only if you are connecting to a port <100, best practice otherwise.
