[ale] X + SSH question

Example:

me (Internet) ----> Intermediate box (Internet/private) ---> Target box
(private)

I want to run an X program on the Target box and redirect output to the "me"
box.

I used to use this old xforward program, which was ok, but I'd like to use
SSH instead.

What I want to do is SSH into the intermediate box, then SSH into the
target, export the display to the middle box, which then forwards to mine.

Shouldn't this work on the intermediate box?
ssh -L 6000:my ip:6000 targetbox

then on the target, run export DISPLAY=intermediatebox:0
