Exporting display through multiple servers

I am trying to export a display for a Volume Manager GUI from a Solaris server to my Solaris workstation. The only problem is that the target server is behind a firewall, and requires that we ssh to a third system (a jumpbox) to connect. I've heard its possible to set up a display export through multiple hosts using ssh, although I'm not exactly sure how to do it.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is it as easy as exporting target server's display to the jumpbox, and then exporting the jumpbox's display to my workstation?

Thanks in advance!
 
Read about X11 forwarding on the ssh man page. You can also do it manually using the port forwarding options.
