It does sound like you would need to run both server and client on each 
end of the tunnel(s). This will work fine, I used something similar for 
bidirectional replication between SQL Servers a few years back.

Running both server and client on a single machine is fine. They could 
even use the same tunnel port number as one would be making outgoing 
connections, and one would be accepting incoming connections. So if 
using a firewall, all that would be required is to allow a sinlge port 
number both incoming and outgoing connections.
