Tunnel SSH from mod_proxy

httpd mailing list has given no answers AT ALL so i'm starting to suspect it can't be done but i'll give you the rundown of my situation and see if /prog/ can hint a good solution for my problem.

i'm at work, bored as hell, i've played super mario at virtualnes.com a million times already.

i want to putty to my home server from work so i can do something interesting, code, while bored at work.

i have at my disposal three static ips at home, a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with FreeBSD 7.1 and port 80 open to connect to.

so basically i wanted to setup a virtual host proxy with mod_proxy because i already have a web server with sites running so i can't use all of port 80 for another service than httpd.

then somehow tunnel the traffic to ssh, maybe a local ssh proxy listening on localhost and mod_proxy redirecting to it. i'm not sure because i've only setup a completely open proxy with mod_proxy so far, it had simple ip-address rules and let you connect to anything.

so basically i would need some sort of directive that statically links the proxy to a socks proxy that in turn can connect with ssh to my ssh proxy, or something like that. help me out /prog/

/prog/: Apache support

SSH over HTTP?

Do you have a free IP on which you could run sshd on port 80? I think you need to be a bit more creative here, there may be a simple clean solution using nginx, but if there isn't you can always just modify the source of your httpd so if it sees you connecting from a certain specific IP, it would just tunnel the connection to port 22(ssh). Using a http proxy to do this is probably a bad idea as you'll be adding a lot of unnecesary overhead.

Wait, what?

yeah i was totally blind on that one dude, i only have the web server on one of my three ips, the other is to provide name servers with two ips but they're both on the same server. so i could have apache bind to the one ip i use for domains and the ip i could have a ssh proxy on port 80

Use port 443, it's less likely to be interfered with.
