Possibly a better way would be to use SSH to tunnel connections to a
specific machine which can act as a "gateway" server. Then port forward a
port for each workstation from that machine. Then from the viewer you can
use the "loopback" to connect to each workstation you want to reach -- i.e.
127.0.0.1:5923 for the 22nd workstation (you pretty much can't use :5900, as
that's reserved for the viewer machine.)
