trying to figure out what you are trying to do - it might help others to
come up with ideas

generally, the way around thse things is to 'redirect' ports. If you can
pipe ssh through port 500 ssh -p 500 hostname - and then on your
'receiving' machine redirect to port 22, that should be all you need to
do.

All Linux welcome - of course, if you don't use Debian, you are an
idiot ;-) just kidding.
