You will not be able to get second life to work with a tunnel (like ssh) that requires you to connect something like localhost:16000; those types of programs usually don't support UDP (which we require), and certainly don't support connecting to multiple servers via a single tunnel configuration (which we also require).

If you must tunnel SL, you can use a VPN of some sort; that will work okay, although you may see higher than normal levels of latency/packetloss. It does work, though; I've used SL over a VPN several times.
