I've never tried this, but I think you should take a look at the SSH
documentation for port forwarding. Run on the client,
ssh -l 10080:<server>:<port> <server> 'sleep 7000' &
means that connections to port <port> on <server> should be forwarded to
port 10080 on the client. Making <port>=10080 means that port 10080 is
forwarded, but of course with auth-ssh Amanda doesn't listen at all.
If you want to use auth-ssh inside this SSH tunnel (which seems
redundant), you'll need to convince SSH to connect to the client on port
<port>, hostname 'localhost'. It would probably be more sensible to
switch to bsdtcp authentication for this client, and select some
otherwise-unused port on the server. Then just point your DLE to
localhost:<port> with auth "bsdtcp", and you should be OK.
All in all, it sounds like a lot of work, unless this is a months-long
conference :)
