Note that with the netcat method, none of the ssh servers need to run on 
odd ports, nor does anything odd need to be done with the sshd_config on 
the servers.  The ssh "gateway" box (the one machine listening on port 
22 externally) would have to have netcat (nc) installed locally.

Everything else is handled in the client config file to establish the proxy.
