Is there some irony here?

RE: Using a host name instead if IP?

Zach,

If I ping "johnsmith.homedns.org" it resolves to the correct ip and responds

I assume that if it works with the ip address then the above must be
correctly set? 

I did have trouble with the original ports on the remote router. The default
ports on the VNC services for the remote netgear router default to 5500, and
I could not get through. Using a manually added service with ports 5900
resolved this so now I can connect using ip address.

Yet putting "johnsmith.homedns.org" into my the VNC Server name window in
the connection details popup still produces the error "failed to get server
address".

Now this is where I get stuck.... The netgear router config shows:
Inbound Services: 
Service:  VNC(5900+n)(TCP:5900,5910)
Send to LAN Server: 192.168.0.4
WAN Users: any

I don't think the router does what you suggest. (netgear DG834G). So
following your advice I need to set up individual service as above but with
each directing a different port to a different local address? I.e. 5901 to
.1, 5902 to .2, 5903 to .3 etc????? But what happens if the local machines
get allocated a different ip from DHCP?

Yes.

What happens now?

You need to fix the IP address, either by not using DHCP or by putting a
reservation in (which most consumer level NAT devices don't let you).  Or
just make sure you don't have the machine off long enough for the lease to
expire.

Let me try again.  You are not testing the tunnel.  What do you get when
you try to "telnet localhost 5902" from the SSH *client*?  In this case
the *client* would be the machine running Putty, not "linux".

RE: Using a host name instead if IP?

Got the answer! "johnsmith.homedns.org" does not resolve in VNC but
"johnsmith.homedns.org:0" does. Which is add as you don't need the :0 when
using an IP address.
