ssh to private network machine

Hi,

Does anybody know of a way to start a remote connection to a machine on
a private network behind a public proxy that does not invlove port
forwarding from the proxy - or even any configuration changes to the
proxy.

I'm specifically thinking of a way that involves creating a connection
from the private machine to some outside host (that I maintain) that I
can leave active and then use in reverse to connect back to the private
machine.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers,

Just forward some custom port on the outside machine to the private
machine's port 22 via ssh's "-R" option. See the ssh manpage for
details on that.

Ah yes, perfect. This appears to be exactly what I was looking for.
Thankyou!
