Have you gotten this to work? If so, what SSH client? I'm trying the ssh-win32 that the VNC docs point you to. I set it up to forward the ports but can't seem to make a connection. I get nothing. VNC doesn't ever come back. No erros, nothing. Very weird.
I am using ipchains. When you make a connection through SSH does Linux think it's coming from the local trusted NIC? Not sure if that was clear. Can I just completely block that port with ipchains and as long as I can make the SSH connection I should be able to connect to VNC?
