	Ya you are right, I have not found anything specific yet either.

	I agree, an SSH tunnel already setup on the "clones" is likely the best 
solution. 1) the setup is done and 2) the connection is secured. A few 
minor details might be to make sure you setup the VNC server on the 
"clones" as well and to make it simpler, setup a single dynDNS entry for 
the SSH tunnel to connect to. This dynDNS entry would point back to 
whomever is providing the support so maybe have a few for each support 
worker.
