Another solution to this problem would be to establish an IPSec SA
between all the machines in question.  With that, there's no need for
ssh at all, not need for X forwarding, etc.  Just run x2x however you
want.  Of course, this means that you need to futz with IPSec, which
is no trivial matter, but once it's established, you really don't even
need to bother with ssh at all for this type of thing.
