do a ssh port tunneling:
start on your local machine:

	ssh nick.dev.openstreetmap. -R 3000:localhost:3000

After this you should be able to connect to this port in your browser with the 
url:

	http://localhost:3000/rails_port/

This special case is untested but it's a standard procedure and should work.
Only thing which might complicate things would be if the Server is multihomed.
