Roughly. There are many things you can do along these
lines. [email protected]/y-proxy--main--0 contains a
working first cut at one way it can be implemented (doesn't require
ssh, or any form of shell access). It only took a couple days to
write; this is really *easy* when you do it externally. It's also
trivial to apply privilege separation here - whether with classical
uid boundaries, or with something like selinux - and it multiplexes
the secure channel, so per-client startup time beats the crap out of
implementing it directly in the server.

Adding something similar to ssh would not be hard, but I'm not
touching the openssh code.
