OK, so this is what I got, but it doesn't look right...
The set up is as follows:
My Mac is on a wireless network, presumably behind a firewall over which I have no administrator privileges. Further, said wireless network changes my internal IP address randomly at random times, so I do not know what my IP address is.
Note that localhost is a variable IP address.
I forward some port or the other to my DNS:
ssh -R 19999:localhost:22 sourceuser@remotehost
Connect to my remotehost from my machine:
ssh sourceuser@remotehost
And then connect to the port I forwarded:
ssh localhost -p 19999
[solved] Second question, there are a bunch of SSH clients for the iPhone. Which one should I use?
EDIT: Since jailbreak is not illegal, simply frowned upon by the Corporation, I've decided to go with that. I have a nice shell with OpenSSH and the works. Best of all, it's free and it does exactly what you expect.

What is your first question? You should explain what exact problem you're having. – anand.trex – 2010-01-08T05:50:03.887
it's not working, and even if it did, would this approach be safe. – Ritwik Bose – 2010-01-08T07:03:07.157
