Subject: SSH port forwarding

I am looking at setting up a VPN using the SSH port forwarding
features, but I have a question:

I have inetd listening on port X for ppp connections. I set
up SSH on the client machine to pass all packets going from port X
on the client to port X on the server through the secure channel.

After starting ppp, I do netstat -a and realize that the actual ppp
connection is taking place on random port Y. My question is, is SSH
smart enough to realize this has taken place and encrypt the session
on port Y as well? If not, how do I set it up so that the random
port picked during the negotiation process is also sent through
the secure channel?

Thanks.
