That all makes a good amount of sense.  My follow up question would be 
that since I'm doing this on a WinXP machine, would it be easier for me 
to try the VPN route instead of setting up SSH tunneling?  On *nix it 
seems like ssh can be set up instantly, but I have no idea how it would 
be done quickly and efficiently (and then coded for automation) on a 
windows machine.  I don't know how to automate VPN either, but on XP, 
setting up VPN seems to take only 1 minute of clicking the mouse.
