1. if you are running multiple different applications that all want to be
exposed via port 22 (like git for 'git push') then you may need to expose
numerous machines. tools that use SSH don't tend to have the ability to
use a gateway box before they start executing commands, they assume that
you will SSH directly into the destination box.

But ssh itself allows you to do proxying. See ProxyCommand in
ssh_config's manpage.

I was not aware of that option, but it looks like it's designed to be one 
setting for all your ssh communications, so unless you always use the same 
gateway box to get to your destination you would need to tweak your ssh 
config for each different thing that you are doing.
