Greg,
Any word on this? This is an outstanding issue for a number of folks who connect through an intermediate node with port forwarding disallowed.
For the particular system in question, NASA's Discover, there is a procedure here to set up a "master" ssh connection using "ssh -M". This allows clients to share the master connection.
You would set up your ~/.ssh/config something like this:
Host dali.nccs.nasa.gov
User <your user name>
ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r%h:%p
ControlMaster no
ServerAliveInterval 900
ProxyCommand ssh login.nccs.nasa.gov direct %h
LogLevel Quiet
Protocol 2
ConnectTimeout 300
This does work fine for command line tools (e.g., git, rsync, etc.) but I'm not sure if this approach could be used with Eclipse. The Eclipse connection would need to be set up to use an established master connection. Who would know whether/how to set up Eclipse to be a client of a master SSH connection?
