Talking Help with VNC

Okay, I have two computers on my little home network that I need to make available to the outside world with VNC. I have VNC working perfectly on bother computers (I can connect to both of them from all three computers), but I can't seem to get it to work for either when I'm at work. Here are my questions:

1. VNC uses several ports, so that means I need to forward them to what computer I want to connect to, but how do I setup two computers, and still use both ports? Or am I misunderstanding how that works ...

2. I have the domain dcs2.net registered, and I have http://bt0.dcs2.net and http://bt1.dcs2.net forwarded to both my Linux boxes for the Azureus webs interface, could I do the same, 'cept something like http://vnc0.dcs2.net and http://vnc1.dcs2.net ... or do I need to put the actual IP address in? I have a dynamic IP, but no-ip.com has this utiliy I run that will update the web redirects with my new IP address in the event that it changes.

3. xtightvnc is really featureless, could someone recommend a better VNC viewer for Linux?

Thanks
