Can you specify an alternate port? Run a separate instance of SSHD on a
nonstandard port, configured to allow root login and firewalled (or
tcpwrappered) to only allow connections from the one machine, maybe?
Would take some trickery with startup scripts, but I bet it could be
done, if esxranger will let you specify the port.

so I need to allow root from a to b but only from a to b

Does it have to use password authorization? Another option is to use
key pairs.
You can also force the command that gets executed by putting the
command into the .ssh/authorized_keys file in root's home directory.
It's a little tricky but you can execute a script which "wraps" the
command being executed by the ssh client.
But why does it HAVE to be root, is the user not configurable? What's
the application?
