Even this is the stunnel list, I recommend to use a reverse ssh tunnel
together with netcat to do this.
Setup netcat as an inetd application listening to port 8090 and redirect
anything to localhost:8080 at the remote host.
At your local maschine (with the apache) start a reverse ssh tunnel, redirect
anything from localhost:8080 (in this case your remote maschine) to your
local machine:8080
home # ssh -R 8080:localhost:8090 user at remote
You should use a key to get rid of the password question!
Add a line like this to the remote /etc/inetd.conf:
8090 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/nc /usr/bin/nc localhost 8080
