Well, I know ssh port forwarding can do the trick of making it appear
there is MySQL on a machine that doesn't really have it.  Ssh seems
worth a try.  For performance you could set the cryptoalgorithm to
"none", which is normally just for debugging.  Or encrypt for a virtual
private network effect.

A custom port forwarder looks easy, say in Java, but you did ask for a
standard tool...
