Yeah, that'd be nice too, except I'm in the field more often than not
and getting a VPN connection through a NAT/PAT firewall is dicey at
best.  Even worse when it's never the same firewall two days in a row.
I find it's easier to just tunnel the ports I need over SSH.  As soon as
my network comes up, the tunnels get created and I never even have to
think about it.
