in reply to Any implementations of DBI through SSH?

That's a client library question. DBD::mysql implements the mysql_ssl flag which enables the MySQL client library SSL encryption for the socket. Other DBDs may implement similar things for their libraries.
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
