Trying to launch MPI processes using port forwarding is currenly a call
for trouble, since IP address and port information is usually embedded
into the Open MPI startup protocol.

It would probably a better solution to use a job manager like SGE which
accepts jobs on a head node (which has a public IP address) and
distributes the jobs on the cluster nodes.
