I'm writing a program which is supposed to be a kind of
client/server-architecture.  

The user will start a client, the program will then determine if the
server should be run locally or remote.  If remote, the program will
use ssh to connect to that computer and start the server.  The client
will connect to the server and then do whatever it wants to do.  At
the moment this works just fine locally, but not remote.

Another problem is firewalls, so what I wants do is just use the
ssh-socket for all communications (the data will then be encrypted
which also would be a nice thing).

I'm not quite sure how druby works, is there any way to get druby to
use the ssh-socket?  I notice the last version of druby got some
ssl-support, but this wouldn't solve the problem with connecting to
the remote computer in the first place?

Any hints or suggestions to how to solve this problem?
