I'm confused. 
It's easy to get lost in the hall of mirrors that tunneling is. 

Which box is running the server with the servlet? 
What do you mean by '"SSH" out'?  
Which kind of traffic is going between all the 
various boxes?  

Instead of just answering those two questions, 
it'd be better to restate the whole approach you are talking about. 
Please be explicit, redundant and avoid pronouns.
