Securtiy of forwarding RDP

In my PIX, I have a rule set up to forward Remote Desktop (port 3389) through to one of my servers:

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.1.5 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Another rule was created to allow RDP to another server. Since 3389 was already used, we used 3390, which is forward through to 3389 on the other server:

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 3390 192.168.1.6 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

My question is - is this safe? And would it be safe to do the same thing to allow RDP directly to my workstation - say forward 3391 to my ip address?

Thanks,
Mike
