Unless you have a specific need for ssh tunnels, you could simply setup a VPN tunnel between your host and the server using ipsec and thus ALL your connections to the server go through that secure tunnel.
I'm looking for enlightenment here. Personal experience seems to indicate that ssh is a lot easier to set up then a vpn, freeswan being the only solution I've tried, and know of that works on Linux.
As you'd experienced even ssh tunnels owns their pitfalls. There are cookbooks for connecting windows >=2k with ipsec enabled linux that works fine if your windows is fully patched and no specical needs like NATing firewalls/routers are in the game.
