OpenSSH X11 Forwarding question

[OldSchool]

Before I go on a wild goose chase, using PuTTY and OpenSSH, should the following work?

1) open exceed on PC.
2) open putty session from PC to server A.
3) run Xsession to bring up X over the ssh connection
4) from a dtterm in the Xsession on server A, open an ssh connection to server B

assuming that X11 forwarding is correctly enabled everywhere, should I be able to run an X app (like xclock) on server B (using the connection made in #4)and have it display on the PC, or is this just wishfull thinking on my part? In other words, will the "X" related stuff forward from B to A, and then from A to the PC?

If it matters, the OS is HP-UX 11.0, and OpenSSH3.1p1. PuTTY is 0.60

I know that a second PuTTY session, direct to server B, will work.

In the past, users (incl. my boss) did an rlogin from one server to another, setting DISPLAY to their PC, and carrying on in X. I'm searching for a method to come close to that mode of operation over a secure connection.

Any suggestions gleefully accepted.....

That will work just fine in my experience.
