one option is to install a port redirector on the masquerading server,
have it bind to port 6001 on the server machine, and forward connections
to port 6000 on the other local machine. then login to the remove
machine, setenv DISPLAY masquerading_server:1.0
and then try launching an xterm. if that work, you're done. ofcourse,
you'll still need to mess with x authorization, but i guess you're
familiar with that.
btw, with netfilter (kernel 2.4), there is kernel-support for port
redirection.
