The crystal ball isn't working well today.  Please say more about what
you are asking to do.

Are you asking for something like this?

  Host lilypadmachine.example.com
    ProxyCommand none

  Host *.example.com
    ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p lilypadmachine.example.com

That way all the packages would be forwarded via the server.

The server is overseas. Im trying to connect to a computer in my city. Packages have to travel and comeback. I was hoping some kind of magic that would allow me to use the server overseas *just* to establish the connection between the two computers :)
