I don't see why not. I use ultravnc to control multiple computers from a
single PC via VPN's. Each remote runs ultravnc server. I simply bring up
multiple ultravnc viewers - each comes up on it's own window settings.
For instance, I have multiple VPN's built to my customer's store
locations (BEFVP41's on each end). When I want to perform updates, do
security checks etc., I then open a session for each location across the
links. That way I can work easily work on and monitor all locations at
the same time.

Note: Ultravnc allows you to reassign the vnc port numbers, so I don't
use the standard 5900/5800 ports as an added security precaution. I
don't allow web access and all VNC traffic is confined to the encrypted
VPN links. However, ultravnc has several security features built in that
you can experiment with without dedicated VPN routers.

(I also use Terminal Server for specific applications - I can use
ultravnc for this, but prefer TS for database connections etc., where I
don't want the user rooting around the server.)

What I'd recommend is that you download & give it a try to see if it
suits your needs. It's easy to install, easy to uninstall & works far
better that other commercial programs that I've tried. Check out the
user/developer forums (links are on the site) for bugs, updates,
suggestions.
