This is off-topic, but everyone here seems to understand SSH much better than I, so 
hopefully you won�t mind answering a question I can�t seem to unearth through the 
usually means of google, man pages, or HOWTOs.

I would like to �chain� SSH sessions.  (Or maybe that should be tunnel SSH through 
another SSH session?)  This question came about during a happy hour discussion, �How 
do you maintain anonymity if you can�t trust the first encryptor in the chain?  (And 
you don�t want to be seen using the second.)�

Pictures always work best for me. . .

[Client(me, PuTTY)]  ->SSH A->  [Commercial Anonymizer]  ->SSH B-> 
[Private Anonymizer]  -->  [Proxy]  -->  [Web page]

Desired behavior of this mess:
[Commercial Anonymizer] can�t read anything being sent.
[Private Anonymizer] can read, but only knows traffic is coming from [Commercial 
Anonymizer].
[Proxy] only knows traffic is coming from [Private Anonymizer].  (but that�s standard 
I think)


Restrictions:
You have no control over the [Commercial Anonymizer] and you might have control over 
the [Private Anonymizer].  (Well in our �scenario� we had anonymously bought a hosting 
package with SSH privileges for the [Private Anonymizer], so probably full control 
over the [Private Anonymizer] )

Intellectual pursuits are sometimes more interesting than real work. . .

Any answers would be great, as well as suggestions for alternate methods for 
accomplishing the same.  Even just a link to where someone has already done it would 
be nice.

Thank you,
Michael
