I believe SMB would be tunneled the same as any other service... it's simple
a TCP socket... well two actually - one for names the other for data... So
how would one configure "an ssh gateway"?
You see the computers mentioned (A1..A3 & B1..B3) are not running linux,
but windows... so being able to SSH to them won't help me.
I think this "gateway" you speak of could work though... I could just set up
one for each of the services I need - but how?
Please excuse my ignorance :-)
and thanks.

Making the assumption that you are running an IP based network,
you need only configure ssh to talk to the other machines.
The fact that you are using linux gateways means nothing in this
application. As long as you have IP routability, you can ssh
directly from A1 to any other machine (anywhere)...this includes
B1, B2, B3 etc..
I maintain 500 machines across the country all via ssh from my ISDN
line
at my home!
You can tunnel network services over SSH but I've not done it since
ssh works to get me secured remote access for admin. I think to force
the traffic over ssh you will need to configure a ssh gateway for each
service FTP, POP, SMTP, etc.......
Additionally, I'm not sure how (or if) SMB can be tunneled.
