Hello gjoshi,

Although the Monks seems that they have provided you with many solutions, I would like to add a few references where you can get some information with samples of code, for easier implementation.

I had the same problem with you some time ago and I found the most common name is ssh multi hop, when describing what you are trying to achieve. So ref1 Transparent Multi-hop SSH and ref2 SSH Port Forwarding Through Multiple Hops (.ssh/config).

Update: I found also another link that also contains a Perl script that I assume does exactly what you want. Ref3 ssh tunnel via multiple hops.

Hope this helps.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
