Yes, you could certainly use something like stunnel or an ssh tunnel to forward a port between two machines and do replication over that. Here's a couple of articles that may help: http://www.guydavis.ca/projects/oss/docs/ssh_mysql.jsp http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html One thing to keep in mind is that when you want to connect to a MySQL server via a non-standard port on your local machine, you need to specify the host to connect to as '127.0.0.1', and not 'localhost'. When using 'localhost', MySQL generally tries to connect using a local Unix socket, and ignores the port you specify.
