I can set up a dstore connection to a remote system through an ssh tunnel:
  ssh -l moberhuber build.eclipse.org -L 27127:build.eclipse.org:27127 "cd rseserver/latest && perl ./server.pl 27127 50000 jar mober"

Now I can connect to localhost:27127, but in reality this connects to build.eclipse.org through dstore. In RemoteSystemsTempFiles, the files from the remote system will be listed below a directory named "localhost".

This is not adequate, since multiple tunnels would share temp files. 

I guess the best solution for this is to make tunnelling more explicit, i.e. allow connections to have an attribute "tunnel host:port" and another one "real host:port". Then, the RemoteSystemsTempFiles project should use the real host name instead of the tunnelled one. Note that tunnelling is a generic concept that might be applicable to any connection scheme.
