Can Someone Help Me Find The Right KVM?

I have a tough set-up and I'm finding the search to be overwhelming. I'm hoping someone who's been through this before can help me find the best KVM for my needs. Here's what I have:
Apple Dual 553mHz G4
• Upgraded dual montior video PCI card (ADC and DVI ports)
Apple G5 QUAD
• Stock dual DVI ported video PCI Express card
Monitors
• 2 Apple 17" displays (ADC)
• 1 Wacom 18" Display (DVI)
I also have 1 Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter
Can I find a dual monitor KVM to use between these 2-machines and leave the third monitor on the G5 only? How about 3-monitor KVM? What are my options here? I'm so confused by all of this.
i really want the G5 to be able to use all three monitors at once. It doesn't matter to me how many the G4 gets. If the KVM doesn't work I'm just going to suck it up and buy a second video card for the G5 (and DVI adapter) and run all 3 monitors on the G5 and use Remote Access for the G4.

with respects to the dual DVI KVM... there are a couple of options out there.
as far as 3 monitor KVM, there really are no such products, however, there are DVI matrix swtiches that will allow you to manually (or through presets) switch any input to any output, to include mirroring monitors on various inputs. however, with anything DVI, there may potentially be hot switch issues with resolution and synch, handshake, peripheral control, etc...
let me just shoot you a couple of links...

DVI matrix switchers (any input to any output - very expensive)

sorry to just shoot a bunch of links to you. in my experience, i've generally just used VGA for KVM setups and also there are many pitfalls with compatibility in certain setups that are almost impossible to avoid without trial and error and blind luck.
