ok so let's say on SERVERK, I cannot install any modules(no root access 
and different compilers, gcc(I have tried perlgcc but to no success), 
and other
reasons that I cannot explain nor understand and after numerous 
attempts(installing my own dir and others), I have gave up. Also since 
this is production machine
which has other users using other things, any destruction behavior would 
be catastrophic.

so, what I am thinking of doing is,

1)on linux1, create a user dummyX whose initial .bashrc has immediate 
exit but do launch on perl script
2)perl script will go through SERVERK(if necessary) or go after 
server1-4... if it has connectivity. and run it's course.

3)so on SERVERK, user dummyY will launch a script called,   launchX  
whose contents are

    ssh dummyX@linux1

Maybe this is stupid idea.. but I will try.
