I couldn't get to undeadly, but perhaps 

        http://www.lysator.liu.se/fsh/

would be useful?

        fsh -- Fast remote command execution

        The problem: logging in to a remote system with a cryptographic
        solution such as lsh or ssh takes time, due to the computationally
        expensive key exchanges that occur when the connection is
        established. It is common to trigger a lot of remote logins while
        using remote CVS, which makes it painfully slow compared to having
        the repository locally.

        The solution: reuse the secure tunnel once it has been
        established. fsh is a drop-in rsh-compatible replacement for ssh
        that automatically resuses ssh tunnels.
