Is this possible? (ssh and vnc)

Ive got a router running openwrt, mainly as a caching dns server and ssh (dropbear) on 192.168.0.10:2223

This is connected to my isp provided router/ap, which I've forwarded port 2223 to 192.168.0.10 on.

I don't want to open my workstation etc.. up to the world via ssh, so I ssh into 192.168.0.10 from the internet and then ssh into my workstation (dropbear).
my workstation has the ip and ssh port 192.168.0.2:2222 (all of my ip's are static).   

I know it is possible to tunnel vnc through ssh, but can tunnel through 2 connections?

ssh -L 5900:192.168.0.2:5900 user@wan_of_router

that should route your vnc traffic to your workstation.

so connect to localhost:5900 in your notebook.

you dont need a second connection.

Yeah, it's called tunneling.  See the tightvnc wiki page I wrote.  ED pretty much summed it up.
