I missed the first part of this, but would proxying the VNC connections through an intermediate SSH server help at all? http://www.pjkh.com/wiki/vnc_through_an_ssh_proxy You could setup individual SSH tunnels for each machine in question. The tunnel would stay the same regardless of the IP... and the VNC viewer would connect to localhost so you'd never really need the server IP. Anyway, just a thought... -philip
