It sounded like he had things set up like that because the system in
question is behind a firewall that he doesn't control.  I didn't know ssh
could be used in that way...clever.  I don't have anything positioned where
such a trick would be useful (I have control of firewall settings at home
and at work, so I just forward an external port to port 22 on the device and
call it good), but when you need it, you *need* it.
