You could actually do this a little bit easier, by defining a user ssh
config file in ~/.ssh

You could do something similar to:

Host myvncgateway
HostName server.com
User backupuser #default username
Port 2222 # Use this port instead of 22.


There's a whole mess of other options you can drop in here. man
ssh_config for all the goodies.
