I missed the first part of this, but would proxying the VNC connections 
through an intermediate SSH server help at all?

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...
