I've never heard of that. But I would use authorized_keys file to
specify some connection properties. This implies using public key
authentication, but once it's setup it's easy to use. If your only
concern is port forwarding (poor-mans VPN), on the other hand you can
have one generic user account with a key (in authorized_keys file) for
each of your users who you want to give access to.

I have not tried this my self but I imagine an stunnel setup might
help too. I haven't 'really' used stunnel at all so I would be
interested in this as well.

Hope it helps.
