Oops, I realized that's not quite what I meant to say.  The goal is
not to set a ProxyCommand for ssh to *use* (as is the case when there
are two ssh-es involved), but to set the equivalent of a proxy command
for rsync to use, the command itself involving ssh.  I described the
two ways to do that at the end of this message:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-May/017793.html .  Wayne,
please consider mentioning one or both methods on
http://rsync.samba.org/firewall.html .

Matt
