I have set up a couple of 10.3 systems with Remote Administration enabled,

also enabled.

These are behind a router, DynDNS redirects the Public IP Address.

The remote administration feature (VNC) is fine for a local LAN, but over the
internet I believe the lack of performance in the VNC protocol will hurt you.
The security can be handled by tunneling over ssh, but this will only make it
even slower.

I think if you have to have graphical administration over the internet, the
only viable solution right now is NX

Personally I do things with command line ssh, and the few times where I have
to start something graphically, I use ssh -X and start it from the command
line. It's also not very fast though
