For example, you connect to xxx.redirectme.net:0 or xxx.redirectme.net::5900 or just xxx.redirectme.net (no port number...assumes default of 5900) and you get PC1. Connect to xxx.redirectme.net:1 aka xxx.redirectme.net::5901 and you get PC2. As I say, you're really just hitting the router which "translates" the port number. If you've got your 2nd PC at home already reconfigured to listen on port 5901, then you can just do a straight forward of 5901 from the outside world to your 2nd PC, but if you just installed it and left it at the default, you're going to have to fix your router settings.
