This is how we do a lot of our support where either the firewall's a Linux box that we can ssh to directly or we're using relatively dumb router/switches without VPN capabilities. We've been installing a fair number of LinkSys BEFVP41 VPN boxes which allow IPSec tunnelling between private networks. We these, it's possible to access any reasonable machine on the far side (reasonable being defined as *ix supporting ssh). This makes it Really Nice(tm) when I'm at a clients with my laptop since I have full access to systems on our LAN just as though I were here.
