Why can't you just give them static mappings. On my networks I use DHCP for everything. I then tell my DHCP/DNS server (m0n0wall) to reserve and only give this ip address to server x or printer y etc.to put it bluntly... > > One solution we've considered is setting up a multiplexer of sorts that > would enable users of VNC client apps to pick and choose which machine > to connect to inside the LAN per session, but I'm curious to know if > such a thing (or something similar) exists already.

DNS..... ummmm what about setting up a web page where the user can click on which server to connect to (you will still need DNS or Static mappings) and then it opens up in a java VNC client?help
