any ssh fiends know if it's possible to use SSH to connect to computers
behind a firewall? Here's the scenario:

Internet <-> Linksys FW <-> Linux SSHD
                        <-> VNC Server

the linksys router has port 22 open to the linux box, and I'm trying to
see how ssh can be used to allow me to access the VNC clients through
the firewall without opening port 5900.

from the man page it says I can forward ports and something about -g
allowing remote hosts to connect to local forwarded ports.

is this possible? or do i have to do a vpn?
