  I have *no idea* what you're talking about.  Right. ;)

  I'm thinking...

yourbox$ ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 Public_Server
<blah blah blah>
Public_Server$ ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 Home_1

  I've not tested this.  At all.  Well, wait a second...
(*clickity click click click*)
  I've tested this in a similar environment (the "Public_Server" and 
"Home_1" machines are on the same LAN, but it should suffice) and found it 
to work.  Woo hoo! :)
