Ok, I think I got it figured out. Machine 1 -external port 5252 forwarded to 5800 -external port 5253 forwarded to 5900 -To connect from the net use address www.mydomain.com:5252 And the name: www.mydomain.com::5253
Machine 2 -external port 5254 forwarded to 5800 -external port 5255 forwarded to 5900 -To connect from the net use: www.mydomain.com:5254 And the name: www.mydomain.com::5255 I noticed you have to use the double color (::) before the port or it won't work. Why is that? I still haven't tried it from outside the LAN yet, that will have to wait until I get to work tomorrow, but it works perfectly from inside my LAN.

Using the java viewer does NOT eliminate the need for the VNC traffic port(Unless you use enterprise) So in addition to that you also need to forward 1 more port for each machine that being the rfb port. so just duplicate whatever you did for java with the rfb port then when you connect type "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:YY" where x is whatever you typed to load the java server and YY is the port number for RFB.
