If you're using port mapping, you'd have to give a specific port to each
machine, set VNC up on that machine to use that port and port map each port
number to each individual machine. That way you could specify which machine
on the internal network by using different port numbers. The IP address
would then be the static routable IP of the internal gateway with the port
you specify.
