Assume you talk of some ISP or third party NAT routers (probably on some Netgear NAT router supporting ReadyShare according to the screenshot), not on the subject switches.
Simple: You can port forwarding one port always to a single device or LAN IP.
Consult with this "Miners" application support or community for having multiple servers active at the same time.

Both Servers are ran through a Netgear GS308E "Smart Switch", so I was told to post my question here. When I plug in my LAN ip it says that cant cant be a LAN IP.

These switches are just L2 devices ... no L3 or IP handling, just simple L2 forwarding.

Whatever you tried to configure before this message showed up - you can't configue port forward to the router LAN IP.
