I guess I did not explain well. First, I ssh from the server (which is
behind a firewall) out to my home computer and leave this connection
open. Then when I go home, is there any way that I can use this
connection from home? That is, can I somehow tunnel back through from
home to the server over this connection? I may be totally off base, but
I thought I read somewhere that this could be done.
