You should probably run `redir' on the first host to send port 6001 on
it to port 6000 on the second.  e.g. in /etc/inetd.conf:

    6001 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/redir redir --inetd host2 6000

(untested)

You'll then need to make DISPLAY on your university account host1:1,
which will be redirected to host2:0.  You'll also need to get the
appropriate xauth information to your university account or use xhost,
which is quite insecure.

This doesn't need IP forwarding or masquerading enabled at all.
