Tom,

Are your internal systems assigned private IPs like 192.168.x.x? If so
then you also need to port forward from the router to the internal box
running sshd. The idea of running the several systems on 222x ports
sounds ok but I would prefer to allow incoming ssh connections to only 1
internal system and just require developers to use that as an access
point to your internal net.

Regards,
Vic
