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
