   That is quite easy to do.  I presume you are going through a router with   
   port forwarding on the server side.  One side of the router is connected to   
   you cable (or cable modem) and the other side is connected to your local   
   lan.   
      
   You have currently forwarded tcp ports 5800 and 5900 to the server pc you   
   are currently using.   
      
   All you have to do is forward tcp ports 5801 and 5901 to server #2, 5802 and   
   5902 to server #3 and so on.   
      
   On the server that receives ports 5800 and 5900 you have to set the display   
   number to zero   
   The server that receives ports 5801 and 5901 you set the display number to   
   one (on the same screen you set your password on)   
   The server that receives ports 5802 and 5902 you set the display number to   
   three.   
   and so on.   
      
   from the client (viewer) when you want to access the first computer use   
   "hostname.com:0", to access the second computer use "hostname.com:1", to   
   access the third computer use "hostname.com:2" and so on.   
      
   The only gotcha is to ensure you have correctly matched the display number   
   with port number for the port forwarding.   
      
   PS.  This takes advantage of the fact that RealVNC uses different, known,   
   tcp port numbers to access different displays which you can then set in you   
   port forwarding.
