Just occurred to me that if you keep your system listening to port 22, 
many many NAT routers will allow you to forward whatever port on the WAN 
side to whatever port on the inside...i.e., your system listens to port 
22, internal systems access it on port 22, but set your router so 
Internet connections hit port 2222 and forward to IP xxx.yyy.aaa.bbb 
port 22...so you don't need dual-ports listened to.
