Yes, I already know how to do these things, but that's not what this
discussion is about.
The intent here is to provide a _transparent_ method to access hosts on a
remote RFC1918 network via SSH by hostname alone, without using additional
live IP's or non-standard ports.
I want any user anywhere to be able to type:
rubicon# ssh user at ballocks.webbastard.org
and get through to a machine with an IP address of 172.31.110.24
