Thank You so much.  I will have to try this later today.  I have
never done a port forward in iptables before.  I knew that I could, but just
never had a need or tried so it slipped my mind about this.
        The thing is...I need to securely do this.  Here would be the setup
Desktop -> Secure connection to Server 1 -> Secure connection to Server 2.
So I am assuming that what I need to do is to have the Desktop SSH into
Server 1 which will have the iptables setup to tunnel to Server 2 and then
use a tunnel from Secure CRT (or putty) to tunnel all the way to Server 2
through Server 1?  Server one can only be accessed with SSH from Server 1.

Again, Thank You.
Steve

On linux, one could do a port forward:

EXTIF=eth0 # Or whatever the interface that faces internet is called.

iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -p tcp -s <client-ip> --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -s <client-ip> \
   -d <linux-fw-ip> --dport 3306 -j DNAT --to <internal-ip>:3306
