screen sharing and ssh tunnel

Question

screen sharing and ssh tunnel

I'm trying to connect screen sharing to a server (S2) on my local network through a server(S1) on my local network with a static IP (local) and a static IP (public)

S1 is XServer G5 10.3.9 (dual nic)

S2 is Mountain Lion Server 10.8.2

Client: MBP ML 10.8.2

Client -> S1 -> S2

IP are for illustration

S1: Public 71.100.100.200

S1: Local 192.168.6.100

S2: Local 192.168.6.101

S1 Firewall rule: 01105 allow tcp from any to 192.168.6.0/24 5900

On client:

> ssh -L 5901:192.168.6.101:5900 71.100.100.200

connect to server vnc://192.168.6.101:5901

... no joy connection timeout - standard connection fail message for screen sharing.

10.8.2 Server-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I managed to find a slightly different tunnel command that does work.

ssh -t -L localhost:5901:S2:5900 S1

ssh -t -L localhost:5901:<private server>:5900 <public(dmz) server>

had to set screen sharing prerferences for adaptive quailty encryption of passworkd and keystroks only for the relatively slow connection.
