Why not simply have sshd listen on 2 ports and skip need for port 
forwarding?


Just uncomment the "Port 22" line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and add a second line with the second port

so it would look like

Port 22
Port 5122

and restart sshd

with this all access that expects port 22 will continue to work,
and you can also access it through the new 5122 port.

Simple and effective, and no portforwarding needed.
