comment How to access machines inside a network via ssh from over the internet
Thanks gravyface. And really sorry for not making the requirement so clear (it's just a biproduct of my lack of knowledge in this field). I guess i'll need more public IP addresses then to accomplish what i need. And for servers that only run websites and dont need direct SSH i can continue to use apache's mod proxy on server1 to redirect. I really appreciate your help tho'.

@JimB - I know, i really need to learn more about networking. I've been reading all sorts of tutorials and info sites but clearly i still have some massive holes in my knowledge. I would love to do a course or something to lern more, but i'm part of a small startup company and budget is tight. You dont by any chance know any "recommended reading" or websites that might help with this topic do you? Thanks sooooo much for all your help and info you have given me. I'm certainly a lot further along in my understanding because of it. I really need to get these concepts under my belt.

comment How to access machines inside a network via ssh from over the internet
The problem is that these webservers need to be accessed via customers that use SSH GUI's such as Cyberduck where they cannot tunnel from internet->server1->server2. Also, customer 1 uses one server and customer 2 uses another so they shouldn't have to tunnel through another server. Tunnelling has been fine for me, but now other people need specific requirements and, as i said in the description, i'm not so great with this networking config stuff (yet - gotta learn i guess) ;)

@JimB - thanks, i'm slowly starting to understand i think. So for each server i have it looks like i'll need a public ip address. could by any chance use dynamicdns to get to the computers? or is this still not a solution because it's still not an IP

comment How to access machines inside a network via ssh from over the internet
Still being a noob, sorry: I dont get it tho... i also want http traffic for server2.example.com to go to server2. and i cant really change the port in this case because people that type server2.example.com in the browser will expect port 80. And what if i buy examplefive.com and want to send http and ssh trafic to server5 within my network?

Thanks for your help! I guess what i want just isn't going to happen huh? If server1 is a DNS and gets all traffic for *.example.com could it not forward traffic for server2.example.com to the internal ip address 192.168.0.2 on the network? But i guess the problem here is that this internal ip address is meaningless to the outside world huh?

comment How to access machines inside a network via ssh from over the internet
Thanks for your help guys. This might be where i'm tripping up here. Maybe it's just not possible. What i thought i could do is use use dns to link the example.com to 217.217.217.217 (the static wan ip) to get to my server1 from the internet. Then use dns on server1 to send traffic for server2.example.com to server2 which has and internal ip of 192.168.0.2. Is this just not possible then? Must every webserver have a static wan ip? Sorry for the noobiness.

surely it must be possible to do this without changing the ports? isn't it just configuring server2.example.com to go to server2 and server3.example.com to go to server3 using server1 as a DNS server?

thanks for your reply. unfortunately i need to keep ssh on port 22 for each machine. also it needs to be direct without tunnelling because sometimes other people need to access a machine without having the rights to another
