If you were using addresses with numbers per machine, I'd simply add
them together.  So port 5902 was for machine at w.x.y.2, and so on.
You'd connect to a consistent address (e.g. w.x.y.z being your gateway)
for *all* external connections to any internal box, and just port
forward the ports.  Your firewall would redirect based on the port
numbers, alone.

If you only had a smallish number of boxes, that'd be easy enough to do.
If you had a larger number, I'd probably change from using port numbers
in the 5000's to something higher.

You'd only need to know the number of your box to connect to it.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.

That's what the OP does now.
