I use a similar setup to what Matt is describing using an appliance
firewall and I would call port forwarding.  It has worked well for
application.  E-mail me directly for more information.

If you're allowed out of work on multiple ports, you could always forward
a series of ports to the individual machines.  That way you miss the
middle box.  Then all you have to do is ssh -pPORT cable_gateway to get to
the different machines.
